2011 Audi A1 1.2L Petrol · TU61 BEC

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend despite intermittent testing failures. The most recent test in April 2025 at 120,758 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just two days prior at nearly identical mileage. This suggests that the previous failure was likely a minor administrative or easily rectified issue that was addressed immediately, as the vehicle has since maintained a clean inspection record over the last twelve months. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Between April 2023 and April 2024, the car covered 15,470 miles, while it added another 7,933 miles in the year leading up to the most recent 2025 test. This slight variation indicates regular use rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for keeping rubber components and brake seals supple. The lack of significant gaps between tests shows a consistent and predictable usage pattern. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking components, given the vehicle's age and mileage. While the MOT record shows no recurring structural advisories, the high mileage of 120,000 miles necessitates a check of control arm bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for signs of wear. Inspect the brake discs for uneven wear or pitting, as the record does not explicitly rule binding calipers or thinning pads. Checking the chassis for corrosion remains vital to ensure the structural integrity remains sound despite the vehicle's age.
