2017 Audi A1 1.0L Petrol · SV17 UDL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a period of minor mechanical instability. The most recent MOT test conducted on 7 October 2025 at 73,109 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that all mechanical and structural components currently meet minimum standards. This follows two consecutive years of clean passes, suggesting that the issues identified in late 2023 were successfully rectified and maintained. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,100 miles per year. Between the September 2024 test at 61,141 miles and the October 2025 test at 73,109 miles, the car covered roughly 12,000 miles. This represents a slight increase in usage compared to the annual average but remains within the typical range for a modern hatchback. The intervals between tests are regular, showing a consistent history of routine inspections rather than long periods of stationary neglect. The two failures recorded in September 2023 at 49,247 and 49,405 miles indicate a specific mechanical fault that required immediate attention. While the specific reasons for those failures are not listed in this summary, the fact that the vehicle passed immediately afterward and remained clean suggests the owner was proactive with repairs. A buyer should still inspect the suspension bushings for signs of wear and check the brake discs for pitting, as these are common points of interest at this mileage. Given the lack of advisories in the last two tests, the focus should shift to consumable items that the MOT does not cover. At the 73,000-mile mark, verifying the condition of the brake pads and the tread depth of the tyres is essential. The clean record de-fact regarding structural corrosion or recurring emission failures suggests a vehicle that has been well-maintained throughout its mid life.
