2013 Audi A1 1.6L Diesel · WR62 VJJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend of deferred mechanical repairs. While it passed its most recent test in November 2025 at 99,732 miles, it failed earlier that same day due to multiple defects including a failed headlamp and worn components. The recurring presence of worn brake discs and deteriorating suspension-related parts across the last three years suggests the owner only addresses faults when strictly necessary to pass the MOT, rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 99,732 miles, the 13-year-old Audi has travelled at an average rate of approximately 7,672 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 11,600 miles covered between the November 2023 and November 2024 tests. This steady accumulation is typical for a vehicle of this age, yet the specific failures noted such as the offside tyre with exposed cords in 2024 indicate that critical safety-related items have been overlooked until they reached a state of total failure. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The record consistently flags pitted front brake discs and worn lower suspension arm bushes, with the latter showing increased movement as of 2025. Furthermore, the track rod end ball joint dust covers have been noted as damaged since at least 2023, which indicates a risk of premature joint failure if not have been replaced. The buyer should also check for uneven tyre wear and perished rubber, as the history shows a pattern of tyres reaching the legal limit or suffering structural damage before replacement.
