2016 Audi A1 1.6L Diesel · WD65 YMY

The vehicle currently holds a clean bill of health following a successful MOT test on 5 January 2026 at 63,988 miles. This recent pass, issued without a single advisory, indicates a stable and well-maintained condition. The absence of defects in the last two consecutive annual inspections suggests that the previous owner has addressed mechanical shortcomings promptly, moving the vehicle into a period of reliable performance. At ten years of age, the recorded mileage of 63,988 reflects a moderate usage pattern of approximately 6,400 miles per annum. The accumulation remains consistent across the provided history, showing steady increments of roughly 6,000 to 8,000 miles between annual tests. This usage profile avoids the risks associated with long-term storage, such as seized calipers or perished rubber components, while also avoiding the heavy wear often seen on high-mileage fleet vehicles. The failure recorded on 3 January 2024 at 50,072 miles serves as the only notable blemish in the recent history, highlighting wear in the offside front Macpherson strut mount and significant degradation of the offside rear brake disc. While these items were rectified to secure the pass later that same day, a prospective buyer should verify the condition of the remaining suspension bushes and the matching brake discs on the nearside. Given the age of the vehicle, inspecting the front strut bearings for any signs of knocking or restricted steering movement remains a prudent step, as these components frequently wear in tandem on this platform.
