Verdict
Citadine premium 5 étoiles Euro NCAP (2019), coffre de 335 litres, vendue uniquement en essence. Les retours publiés sur sa fiabilité restent peu nombreux : What Car? la classe 9e sur 26 petites voitures (97,5 %), mais CarVerif estime les données trop minces pour chiffrer le risque. Un rappel d'ancrage de ceinture a visé les voitures de février 2020. Essayez la boîte S tronic à froid.

You are importing the car to:
Import penalty (malus) in France
- Emissions of the versions in this guide: 123 g CO₂/km (check the value on the car's registration certificate).
- The CO₂ malus follows the scale of the year the vehicle was first registered, in France or abroad (WLTP or NEDC scale depending on its registration certificate).
- For an imported used car, it is reduced by a flat-rate discount based on its age in months (scheme in force since 1 March 2025). The weight malus also applies on first registration in France.
- The malus is zero for a car more than fifteen years old or first registered before 1 January 2015.

Known faults
No fault publicly documented so far, so reliability is not rated. This is no guarantee: have the car checked all the more carefully before buying.
Manufacturer recalls
Manufacturer recall campaign, fixed free of charge at a dealer:
- Rappel : ancrage de ceinture (25 TFSI 95, 30 TFSI 110, 30 TFSI 116 S tronic, 40 TFSI 200 S tronic)
See the official list on RappelConso (new tab) (French government recall site: category “Automobiles et moyens de déplacement”, search “Audi A1”). A dealer for the brand can also check, using the vehicle identification number (VIN), that recalls have been carried out.

Inspection checklist
Audi A1 II (GB) — inspection checklist
Things to check
- Faire vérifier au numéro de série, chez Audi, les rappels éventuels (ancrage de ceinture sur les voitures de février 2020).
- Essayer la boîte S tronic à froid, en manœuvre puis chaude : à-coups, patinage, délai d'engagement, alerte au tableau de bord.
- Écouter le trois-cylindres au ralenti à froid : ratés ou tremblements peuvent venir des bobines ou bougies.
- Demander les factures de bougies et de bobines et vérifier qu'elles correspondent au code moteur.
- Exiger le carnet d'entretien Audi.
Questions to ask the seller
- Le rappel de l'ancrage de ceinture a-t-il été traité, si la voiture date de début 2020 ?
- Le moteur a-t-il déjà eu des ratés, un voyant moteur ou un changement de bobines ?
- La boîte S tronic a-t-elle fait l'objet d'une intervention ou d'une alerte ?
Test-drive tip: read the fault codes
A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.
