Our Verdict
Proceed with caution but generally a sol
When inspecting this specific green Audi A1, pay close attention to the braking system. The MOT history shows a history of worn brake discs (both nearside and offside rear) and thin pads in May 2025, as well as imbalanced brakes in 2022. Ensure that any recent brake work has been documented with receipts.
Additionally, check the condition of the tyres. The vehicle has previously failed or received advisories for tyres being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges. Verify that the current set has ample tread depth and is not showing uneven wear, which could indicate alignment issues. Finally, confirm if the 999cc engine has received regular oil changes, as this is vital for small-capacity turbocharged units.
The 999cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, likely placing this vehicle in a lower insurance group and tax band compared to larger capacity Audis. Fuel economy should be relatively high, making it suitable for urban driving.
Maintenance costs for an Audi can be higher than for non-premium brands, particularly for components like brake discs and pads which have appeared in the MOT history. Expect typical servicing costs to be moderate, but budget for periodic replacement of consumables like tyres and brake components.
Focus heavily on the braking system. Given the 2022 advisory for imbalanced brakes and the 2025 advisories for pitted/scored discs and thin pads, you should inspect the thickness of the pads and the surface condition of the discs during a test drive.
Check the tyres thoroughly. The history shows a recurring theme of tyres reaching legal limits or wearing unevenly (offside front in 2025 and offside rear in 2022). Look for signs of camber wear or uneven tread patterns. Also, while not a recorded failure for this specific car, note that the aggregate data for this model shows ball joints, coil springs, and headlamps as common failure points across the wider fleet.
This 2019 Audi A1 petrol model has covered 54,963 miles as of its last MOT in November 2025. The mileage is slightly above the model average of 6,770 per year, suggesting more frequent use than the typical example in this dataset. While the most recent test showed no defects, the history includes multiple advisories regarding brakes and tyres.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 83.4% MOT pass rate, with common mechanical failures involving ball joints, coil springs, and headlamps.
