2015 Audi A1 1.4L Petrol · RO15 AEG

The Audi A1 is currently roadworthy, with the most recent DVSA test on 25 April 2025 at 76,362 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Maintenance trend appears stable across the available history. The 6 May 2023 test at 54,759 miles passed clean, followed by a pass at 62,679 miles on 7 May 2024, and the 2025 pass all show zero mechanical advisories. Two anomalous failures appear on 2 May 2024 and 25 April 2025 at identical mileages to the subsequent passes, yet the records list no defects. This pattern indicates administrative or documentation rejects rather than worsening mechanical condition. Mileage progression aligns with typical use for an eleven-year-old hatchback. The odometer advanced from 54,759 miles in May 2023 to 62,679 miles by May 2024, a modest 7,920-mile year. By April 2025 the car had covered 76,362 miles, equating to roughly 13,683 miles over the intervening eleven months, a slight uplift but still within ordinary private-use bounds. The sparse, clean ledger offers no evidence of prolonged standing or severe high-mileage strain on drivetrain components. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of age-sensitive items that MOT advisories would normally highlight. Examine suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or sag, assess brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, and probe chassis legs and sills for corrosion compromising structural integrity. Although exhaust emissions passed, a visual check of the system for rust perforation remains prudent. The repeated fail-then-pass on same dates with no recorded faults warrants verification of the vehicle's documentation. Confirm with the seller the reason for those entries, as they may reflect a clerical error or a non-mechanical compliance issue swiftly resolved. Previous owners evidently kept the car to a passable standard mechanically, but the absence of advisories does not exempt the buyer from independent scrutiny of consumables such as tyres and wiper blades.
