2018 Audi A1 1.4L Petrol · RJ18 MXC

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status with an improving maintenance trend following a period of neglect. The most recent test in July 2025 at 81,698 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in the previous year were addressed. This transition from a multi-point failure to a clean certificate suggests that the current owner has taken proactive action to rectify flagged safety concerns. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,200 miles per annum. The record shows steady usage, with 16,345 miles driven between July 2023 and July 2024, and another 15,439 miles between July 2024 and July 2025. This regular accumulation suggests the car is used consistently rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which generally helps protect rubber components and seals from dry rot-related degradation. A buyer should focus on the front-end suspension geometry during a physical inspection. The 2024 failure highlighted cracking and perishing on both the nearside and offside front lower suspension arm bushes, alongside uneven inner wear on the offside rear tyre. While the 2025 pass suggests these were replaced, uneven tyre wear often indicates a lingering alignment or tracking issue. It is vital to verify that the current tyres show even wear patterns and that the suspension bushings do not exhibit signs of premature tearing or play.
