2016 Audi A1 1.4L Petrol · SM16 FEH

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test conducted in November 2025 at 67,077 miles resulted in a pass despite an advisory for a perished offside rear tyre showing signs of cracking. This specific issue persisted from the November 2024 test at 59,001 miles, suggesting that the owner has ignored rubber degradation until it nears inspection failure. The mileage profile is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per annum. Between November 2021 at 36,957 miles and November 2025 at 67,077 miles, the car covered 30,120 miles. This low-frequency usage generally preserves mechanical components like the engine and gearbox, but it often correlates with the aging of rubber components and surface corrosion seen in the record. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and tyres. The record shows the offside rear brake disc was flagged as pitted and scored in both 2022 at 44,204 miles and again in 2023 at 51,796 miles. While these passed, the recurring nature of the corrosion suggests a lack of aggressive cleaning or long periods of inactivity. Furthermore, the 2023 advisory for worn front tyres indicated uneven edge wear, which often points to an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require verification to prevent further premature tyre failure.
