2012 Audi A1 1.2L Petrol · PE12 DLV

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy state, passing its most recent MOT test in August 2025 with 133,808 miles and no recorded defects. This indicates an improving maintenance trend compared to previous years where multiple advisories related to wear and tear required to be addressed. While the history shows recurring mechanical issues, the latest clean sheet suggests the current owner is proactively attending to the faults previously identified by the tester. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per year. Between August 2021 at 100,902 miles and August 2025 at 133,808 miles, the car covered 32,906 miles, representing a steady rate of use. There is no evidence of rapid accumulation or long periods of stagnation that would typically lead to dry-rot or accelerated accelerated degradation of rubber components beyond normal age. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension, as the 2024 test at 126,364 miles flagged worn bushes on both the nearside and offside suspension arms. Although these were not failures at that time, they represent a known wear point that can affect handling precision. The brake system also shows a persistent history of pitted and scored discs across all four wheels between 2021 and 2023. While these were likely replaced given the clean 2025 result, the buyer should verify the thickness and condition of the current pads and rotors to ensure no rapid corrosion has returned.
