2012 Audi A1 1.6L Diesel · SL12 WBW

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, showing a stable and improving maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 4 August 2025 at 119,523 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that previous mechanical issues have been successfully addressed. While the history shows a pattern of immediate passes following failures, the ability to achieve clean sheets in subsequent tests suggests the owner is proactive in rectifying identified faults before the next deadline. The recorded mileage of 119,523 miles over 14 years reflects an average usage of approximately 8,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK figures for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 9,700 miles driven between July 2023 (100,098 miles) and July 2024 (109,786 miles), and nearly 10,000 miles covered prior to the August 2025 test. This regular interval suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of stagnation which often leads to perished seals or seized components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components that caused the failures in 2023 and 2024, although the provided record does not list the specific reasons for those rejections. Recurring failures followed by immediate passes often point to items such as suspension bushes, brake sensors, or lighting components. Given the age and mileage, a thorough check of the structural integrity around the sills and the condition of the wish arms is necessary to ensure corrosion is not beginning to develop despite the clean recent MOT results.
