2013 Audi A1 1.6L Diesel · RK63 YTC

The vehicle cleared its most recent MOT on 14 May 2026 at 126,079 miles, indicating it is road‑worthy at present, though the tester noted rear‑exhaust corrosion. Earlier failures for rear fog lamps, headlamp aim and tyre condition have been rectified, suggesting a generally improving trend with no new major defects recorded. Mileage has risen from 115,614 miles in May 2024 to 120,654 miles in May 2025 and to 126,079 miles in May 2026. This equates to roughly 5,000 miles per annum, aligning with the average 9,700 miles per year expected for a 13‑year‑old car. No prolonged periods of inactivity appear in the record, and the mileage progression is steady rather than erratic. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the rear‑exhaust, ensuring corrosion has not progressed to structural weakness. The rear fog lamps must be tested for proper operation, as they failed twice in the same year. Headlamp alignment should be checked to confirm the beam is correctly aimed, and both front tyres require a close visual inspection of tread depth and sidewall integrity, given previous wear warnings. The off‑side front driveshaft CV boot was flagged for splitting; the boot and joint should be examined for dirt ingress and any resulting vibration. While no suspension or brake advisories were recorded, a tactile assessment of suspension bushes, coil springs and brake discs is prudent to rule out hidden wear that may not have surfaced in the MOT data.
