2012 Audi A1 1.6L Diesel · SH12 AAE

The vehicle's most recent MOT test in April 2025 at 123,860 miles passed without defects, but the same test date failed with no defects recorded. This inconsistency suggests a potential data entry error or a rare administrative oversight. The previous test in April 2024 at 113,203 miles also passed without issues. The maintenance history shows a stable trend with no recurring advisories or defects, indicating consistent roadworthiness. The vehicle has been well-maintained by previous owners, with no signs of worsening mechanical conditions. The mileage pattern is typical for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging around 8,847 miles per year. The tests were conducted roughly every 12 months, with no significant gaps or rapid mileage accumulation. The consistent testing interval suggests regular upkeep and adherence to maintenance schedules. The clean mileage history implies lighter use or long periods of storage, which may have contributed to the lower annual mileage. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's suspension components, including bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these are common wear items in vehicles of this age. The absence of advisories in the MOT history does not guarantee the absence of wear, so a thorough inspection is recommended. Additionally, the brakes should be checked for any signs of wear or corrosion, as brake discs and pads are subject to regular use. The vehicle's structural integrity should also be assessed for any signs of corrosion or rust, particularly in the undercarriage and wheel arches. Finally, the exhaust system should be inspected for any leaks or signs of damage, as these can affect emissions and structural integrity.
