Audi A1 alloys with great Yokohama tires
Since 2016, I have only worked on Audi A2 vehicles. As a hobby, I have repaired four tired A2 cars over the years in my free time.
Its best starting with a car with one owner since new, and this one is just that, if we exclude the two years that it was parked up by second owner. This car has been road tested and is in excellent working order. It is the best-driving A2 out of the three I own.
Twenty-five years have passed since the first A2 was built in 1999. A contemporary classic featuring exceptional construction, distinctive styling, and the Spaceframe™ ladder chassis design. Lightweight and fuel-efficient, this small MPV has a spacious cabin. When driving an A2, you'll discover that it's comfortable, adaptable, and gets 45 mpg.
The platinum cloth interior is durable, and the metallic pearlescent blue paint is easy to clean.
10 months MOT, with no advisories, ending on April 30, 2026.
The tax band is F (144 g/ km), and it costs 215 pounds a year for road tax and group 13E insurance, and it conforms with ULEZ.
The vehicle's complete service history ended in 2018 when it was placed into storage.
* Three owners in total, and due to mechanical problems, the car's second owner sold it after two years and covering just 60 miles in it.
As you can see from the list below, spare parts are readily available, as the Fabia and Polo 1. 4 have the same engine and running gear.
A replacement engine was required to repair this vehicle. It came from a 1. 4 VW Polo with 81, 000 miles with documentation.
There were 87, 132 miles on the old 1. 4-litre petrol engine.
