2017 Audi A1 1.6L Diesel · RY66 AEC

The 2017 Audi A1 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 July 2025 at 81,879 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results since 2022. Mileage progression sits at a typical level for the vehicle's nine-year life, averaging roughly 9,100 miles per year. The record shows 44,091 miles at the March 2022 pass, rising to 51,526 miles by July 2023, 67,477 miles by July 2024, and 81,879 miles by July 2025. Annual accumulation stayed consistent at around 14,000 to 16,000 miles over the last three years, with no standing periods or sudden jumps. The DVSA data is sparse but clean, showing only a same-day fail and pass on 21 March 2022 at 44,089 and 44,091 miles respectively, with no defects listed on either entry. No advisories or faults appear across the history, so the MOT record gives no signal of worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, or failing brake components. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion, as the annual test cycle does not capture gradual consumable degradation between visits. The absence of repeated failures or recurring mechanical flags suggests the previous keepers maintained the car to a basic pass standard. Given the clean sheet, in-person checks should focus on tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and evidence of undocumented accident repair rather than chronic mechanical defect.
