2018 Audi A1 1.4L Petrol · RV68 TNO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in July 2025 at 42,303 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows a clear indication of improvement following a period of several mechanical advisories. While the 2023 and 2024 tests highlighted multiple suspension and artwork issues, the clean result suggests these faults were addressed prior to the latest annual test. The mileage profile is consistently low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per year. Data shows a steady progression between tests, moving from 20,705 miles in 2021 to 42,303 miles in 2025. This low-usage pattern suggests the car has not seen heavy way commuting, but it also explains the premature degradation of rubber-based components noted in the history, which suffer more from age and exposure than distance driven. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension assembly, as the rear control arm bushes were flagged as worn in both 2023 and 2024. Although these did not result in failures at the time, the recurring nature of the advisory indicates a potential for continued wear on these bushes. Additionally, the age of the tyres should be verified; the history specifically notes perishing and cracking across 2023 and 2024 due to the low annual mileage. The braking system also warrants attention based on the history of thin rear pads in 2022 and lipped front discs in 2023. Given the low mileage, these components may be prone to surface corrosion if the vehicle sits, so ensuring the discs are smooth and the pads have sufficient material during a test drive is essential.
