2015 Audi A1 1.4L Petrol · SF15 LPX

The 2026‑06‑29 MOT at 71,783 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming that the Audi A1 is presently roadworthy. This follows a failure on 2026‑06‑19 at 71,781 miles where the tester flagged worn tyres, a slightly play ball joint, a fractured off‑side front coil spring and a compromised anti‑roll bar linkage, indicating that the vehicle required remedial work before the recent successful test. Mileage has risen steadily from 46,412 miles in September 2021 to the current 71,783 miles, averaging about 6,500 miles per year, which aligns with the car’s 11‑year age. The most notable acceleration occurred between the September 2024 test at 57,411 miles and the September 2025 test at 68,012 miles, a gain of over 10,000 miles in one year, suggesting intensified use during that period. Recurring suspension faults – fractured coil springs, worn ball joints and anti‑roll bar linkages – point to a pattern of neglect in front‑end components; the tester repeatedly noted corrosion on near‑side and off‑side coil springs and rust on the front anti‑roll bar, so a close inspection of suspension bushes, springs and mounting points is essential. Brake wear and tyre condition also dominate the record: rear service brakes showed binding on multiple occasions, front and rear discs were described as worn, pitted or scored, and tyres repeatedly approached the legal limit or suffered edge wear and tears. A buyer should therefore examine brake disc thickness, pad wear, tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, and verify that any previous suspension repairs addressed the identified faults before finalising the purchase.
