2011 Audi A1 1.4L Petrol · R18 PAP

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2025‑10‑20 at 247 570 miles, with only rear shock absorbers corrosion recorded. Earlier failures—a front coil spring fracture in October 2024 and a steering linkage ball‑joint dust‑cover damage in September 2022—were both rectified in subsequent tests. The recent pass indicates a stable condition, with only minor corrosion noted and no new defects emerging. Mileage accumulation is high for a 2011 model, reaching 247 570 miles over roughly fifteen years, which averages about 16 500 miles per year. MOT tests have been conducted annually, the last interval being roughly ten months before the current date. The jump from 221 853 miles in October 2024 to 247 570 miles in October 2025 shows a steady increase of around 25 700 miles per year, reflecting consistent high‑usage patterns and regular servicing. A buyer should inspect the rear shock absorbers for corrosion, the front coil spring for any fracture signs, and the steering linkage ball‑joint dust cover for deterioration. Tyre condition remains a priority; front tyres exhibit wear close to the legal limit with inner‑edge wear, and the rear tyre shows similar edge wear. Brake discs were noted as worn and pitted in 2016, so a thorough brake‑disc and pad check is essential. Also examine suspension bushes, exhaust mounting corrosion, and any chassis rust to confirm structural integrity.
