2014 Audi A1 1.4L Petrol · SY64 WHG

The Audi A1 is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 14 October 2025 at 60 621 miles. The only recorded defect from that test is a slight damage to the nearside front wheel, a minor issue that does not compromise safety. The vehicle’s maintenance trend shows a stable, improving pattern: after a single failure in October 2023 due to an insecure central exhaust system, the subsequent 2024 test recorded no defects, indicating the fault was rectified and has not recurred. Since then the car has consistently passed with no further major issues, suggesting a disciplined approach to repairs and a generally well‑maintained condition. Mileage accumulation over the car’s life is notably low for a 12‑year‑old vehicle, averaging roughly 5 000 miles per year. The recorded figures rise steadily from 17 039 miles in 2017 to 60 621 miles in 2025, with each annual interval showing a consistent increase of 4 000–6 000 miles and no significant gaps in testing. This steady, modest growth points to light usage or prolonged periods of storage, which typically reduces wear on consumables such as tyres, brake discs and drivetrain components. The regularity of the MOT entries also confirms that the vehicle has been kept within the required testing window, providing a reliable data set for assessment. A prospective buyer should inspect the nearside front wheel assembly for any signs of impact damage or loose mounting, as the recent MOT flagged slight damage there. The central exhaust system should be examined for secure mounting and signs of corrosion, given the 2023 failure. The rear registration plate area warrants a close look for deterioration of the mounting brackets or plate surface, noted in 2019. Additionally, a thorough check of suspension bushes, brake caliper operation and disc condition is advisable, as low‑mileage vehicles can still develop latent wear if storage has involved prolonged static periods. Finally, a visual survey for structural rust or panel corrosion, especially around wheel arches and underbody, will help confirm the car’s overall integrity before purchase.
