2022 Audi A1 1.5L Petrol · SC71 FGM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in January 2026. The maintenance trend shows signs of reactive maintenance, as the latest test at 26,390 miles resulted in an advisory for thin rear brake pads. This indicates that while the vehicle remains legal for the road, braking components are reaching the end of their effective service life and require immediate attention to prevent a failure in the next inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use urban vehicle, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. Between the January 2025 test at 20,901 miles and the January 2026 test, the car covered 5,489 miles. This steady, low-impact accumulation suggests the mechanical drivetrain and suspension components are unlikely to have excessive wear, though the low mileage can sometimes lead to flat spotted tyres or brake corrosion. A buyer should focus on the front suspension and alignment during a physical inspection. The 2025 test flagged both nearside and offside front tyres as worn to the legal limit and on edge, which often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. Given the recent advisory for thin rear brake pads, the buyer should verify the remaining thickness of all pads and check the condition of the brake discs for scoring or excessive pitting.
