2012 Audi A1 1.6L Diesel · T44 LBJ

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend across the documented period. The most recent test conducted in June 2025 at 69,225 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, indicating that mechanical and structural components met statutory requirements. This consistent clean record suggests the previous owner maintained a proactive approach to upkeep, avoiding the accumulation of minor faults or recurring advisories. The mileage profile is notably low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,945 miles per year. Data from the 2021 test at 44,474 miles compared to the 2025 test at 69,225 miles shows a steady pattern of use, with roughly 25,000 miles covered over those four years. Such low mileage typically reduces wear and tear on the drivetrain and engine components, though long periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or corrosion on brake surfaces if the car was not driven regularly. While the MOT history shows no recorded failures, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to low-mileage use. Check the tyres for sidewall cracking or flat spotting, and inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of perishation. Given the age of the vehicle despite the mileage, verify the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensure the calipers are not seized, as these elements can suffer when a vehicle sits stationary for extended periods.
