Audi A1 VIN Check

Asking prices from 6,592 European used cars. The typical column is the median, half the cars offered that year ask less, half ask more. The range is the 10th to 90th percentile, so it shows what condition, mileage and trim are worth on top of the year alone.

A 2026 Audi A1 typically asks €25,905; a 2016 car asks €13,490, about 48% less. A car priced well under its year's range is usually telling you something, high mileage, a category write-off, an import with a history you cannot see from the advert, or an odometer that has been wound back.

Median odometer reading by model year, from the same European cars. Use it as the reference point for the car you are looking at: an odometer far below the median for its year is the single most common way a used car is misrepresented in Europe.

A 2021 Audi A1 typically shows 49,087 km, roughly 9,817 km a year. A VIN check compares the readings recorded against that specific car over time, so a reading that went down, or a gap that is too clean, shows up as an inconsistency rather than a guess.

What is actually on the European market, from 6,592 cars, not the full factory options list, but the mix a buyer will really be choosing between.

Most common displacements: 1.0 L, 2.0 L, 1.5 L, 1.4 L, 1.6 L, 1.2 L. Median stated output: 110 hp.

From the EU's mandatory CO₂ monitoring dataset, every new Audi A1 registered in the EU is counted here. Registration volumes show which years and engines were actually popular, which is what determines parts availability and resale demand later.

CO₂ figures are registration-weighted averages across all trims of that year, on the WLTP cycle where the year has it and NEDC before that. Your car's own figure depends on its specific version.

6 recall campaigns naming this model are on file. A recall is only a problem if it was never carried out: the check that matters is whether this particular car was fixed.
