Description
This all-aluminum A2's 1. 4 petrol engine has been driven 86, 943 miles by its original owner*.
In 2025, the A2 celebrated 25 years since it was first manufactured. Its iconic styling, superb construction, and Spaceframe ladder chassis design have led enthusiasts to label it a modern classic. A small MPV with a spacious cabin, low weight, and good fuel economy. Because of its versatility, comfortable cabin, and 46. 3 mpg combined fuel efficiency, you will choose to drive this car over others.
The metallic pearlescent blue paintwork is easily cleaned, and the platinum interior is hard wearing.
In 2018, the vehicle had a full service history before being stored for five years.
Following a successful mechanical inspection and engine swap, the vehicle has passed the MOT, which runs until the 30th of April 2026.
It is insured under group 13E, has a 210-pound annual road tax, is in tax band F (144 g/ km), and complies with ULEZ.
* Three owners in all. The car's second owner decided to sell it after only driving 60 miles in two years due to engine issues.
I have done the entire Audi A2 restoration myself, with the exception of filling the air conditioner and readjusting the headlight aim. Since I know every inch of the car, I would suggest that the next owner get a new windscreen and replace the air conditioning system's seals.
