2019 Audi A1 1.0L Petrol · MW69 AEJ

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a clear trend of reactive rather than proactive care. In the most recent test in November 2025 at 57,270 miles, the tester flagged multiple advisories regarding worn brakes and a defective wiper blade. While the car passed, the presence of thin brake pads on both axles and three out of four tyres reaching the legal wear limit indicates a recent decline in preventative maintenance compared to the clean record from 2022. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, moving from 36,102 miles in November 2022 to 46,454 miles by late 2023, and reaching 57,270 miles by late 2025. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which generally benefits the mechanical seals, though the consistent mileage confirms that consumables are being neglected between MOT intervals. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the suspension and wheel alignment, as the recurring reports of tyres worn on the edges across 2023, 2024, and 2025 suggest a persistent geometry issue or worn suspension bushes. The failure in November 2022 due to thin brake pads, followed by the 2025 advisories, confirms that the owner only replaces components when they reach the point of imminent failure. Verify the current state of the brake discs for scoring or thinning, as the pads have repeatedly been allowed to operate at minimum thickness without intervention.
