2018 Audi A1 1.4L Petrol · SX02 ABY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive servicing. The most recent test on 11 June 2026 at 55,128 miles passed with a new advisory for thin rear brake pads. This follows a recurring issue with the rear braking system noted in previous years, suggesting that while the car is kept in legal running order, the owner only addresses components once they reach a failure or advisory threshold. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical low-to-moderate usage, averaging approximately 6,900 miles per year. Between June 2023 at 35,294 miles and May 2024 at 42,310 miles, the car covered roughly 7,000 miles, followed by a larger gap of 12,818 miles between the May 2024 and June 2026 tests. This steady accumulation suggests regular use, which generally reduces the risk of internal degradation of rubber components and fluid systems compared to vehicles that sit for long periods. A buyer should closely inspect the rear braking assembly, as the record shows pitted and scored discs alongside thin pads in 2024, with thin pads appearing again in 2026. This indicates the discs may not have been replaced alongside the pads, potentially leading to poor braking performance. The 2024 failure regarding high carbon monoxide and lambda sensor readings also suggests a past engine management issue or sensor fault that required rectification, though the vehicle passed subsequent tests without emissions flags. The buyer should verify the condition of the tyres and ensure the previously windscreen chip has been addressed.
