2017 Audi A1 1.0L Petrol · YM17 TPY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its latest MOT on 13 March 2026 at 40,518 miles. However, the test failed earlier that same day due to a significant cut in the offside front tyre that reached the inner cords. Despite this recent failure, the overall maintenance trend appears stable as the car maintained clean pass records for the preceding two years, suggesting that the owner responds to safety-critical defects once they are identified during testing. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-usage patterns moving from 26,994 miles in March 2023 to 40,518 miles in March 2026. While low mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, it often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and corrosion on metal surfaces if the car sits for extended periods between uses. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and tyres during a physical inspection. The March 2024 test at 32,611 miles flagged pitted and scored front brake discs and thin rear pads, along with cracking on the rear tyres. Since these are signs of age-related degradation rather than high mileage wear, the buyer should check for rust on the discs and perished sidewalling. Additionally, the recurring issues with the offside front tyre across 2023, 2024, and 2026 suggest a potential alignment issue or a geometry fault that is causing uneven wear.
