2015 Audi A1 Sport TDI 1.6L Diesel · PJ60 PLJ

This 2015 Audi A1 Sport TDI shows a stable roadworthiness trend over the past three MOT cycles, with the most recent test on 2026-03-05 confirming no defects. The absence of advisories or failures in the last two tests suggests the vehicle has maintained compliance with UK roadworthiness standards, though the duplicate entry for 2025-03-07—one marked as passed and the other as failed—indicates a potential administrative error rather than a mechanical issue. The lack of recurring faults or advisories in the last four tests implies that major systems, including suspension, brakes, and emissions, have not been flagged for repeated attention. That said, the 2026 test is now over five months out of date, meaning critical components like tyres, brakes, and suspension may have deteriorated beyond the last inspection. The recorded mileage of 71,222 miles over approximately 11 years—roughly 6,475 miles annually—falls within the expected range for this vehicle’s age. There are no obvious gaps in service intervals or sudden spikes in mileage between tests, though the irregular spacing between the 2024 and 2025 tests (a 12-month gap) contrasts with the more consistent annual checks prior. This pattern suggests the vehicle has seen steady use without prolonged neglect, though the lack of service records means wear on non-MOT items—such as timing belt, fuel injectors, or differential fluid—cannot be confirmed. The most recent MOT was conducted at 70,500 miles, leaving just 722 miles since the last test, which is insufficient for a thorough assessment of consumable wear. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear items not covered by the test, including the timing belt and water pump (critical for TDI engines), rear suspension bushes (common failure points on this model), and brake caliper binding or excessive disc wear. The absence of advisories does not preclude hidden corrosion—particularly in the wheel arches, subframe, or exhaust system—or internal suspension wear, so a thorough check of coil springs, control arms, and steering rack condition is advisable. The engine’s emissions compliance, while not failed, should be cross-verified with a diagnostic scan for pending codes, as TDI engines are prone to DPF or EGR system issues over time. Finally, the tyres—now over five months past their MOT—should be inspected for uneven wear or tread depth, as failing twice on tyre tread in prior records suggests basic upkeep may have been inconsistent.
