2012 Audi A1 1.4L Petrol · ND12 RWV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on January 17, 2025 at 148,807 miles with no defects recorded. While the history shows two instances of failure, the immediate passes following those events suggest that the owner addressed and rectified identified faults promptly. The current trend indicates a vehicle that is being maintained to a functional standard, showing no signs of progressive mechanical or structural decline in the latest inspections. At 148,807 miles over 14 years, the Audi averages approximately 10,629 miles per annum, which aligns closely with typical UK usage for a car of this age. The data shows consistent operation, with 4,897 miles covered between the January 2022 and March 2023 tests, and another 16,865 miles covered between March 2023 and January 2025. The significant jump in mileage over the final two years suggests more frequent recent use, which generally helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and brake seals that often occurs during long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that caused the previous failures in January 2022 and March 2023. Although the record does not list the specific reasons for those failures, high-mileage Audis frequently encounter issues with worn suspension bushes, leaking shock absorbers, or binding brake calipers. Given the age and mileage, a thorough check for corrosion on the structural subframe and the condition of the exhaust system is essential to ensure no hidden structural weaknesses have developed since the last clean pass.
