2015 AUDI S1

This 2015 Audi S1 is a premium modern hot hatch, presented in a subtle factory colour combination and with a comprehensive Audi main dealer service history from new. Under the bonnet is the turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine, which produces 227bhp and drives all four wheels via the six-speed manual transmission and Quattro all-wheel drive system. The odometer shows 31,530 miles from new.

First registered on 24 September 2015, this S1 has just one prior keeper listed in its log book, and was acquired three years ago by its current owner.

Today, the car’s bodywork presents very well, and is not believed to have ever suffered from any accident damage. The smart Daytona Grey metallic paintwork is also in good order, with a smooth and glossy appearance across the car’s panels, while the front end has recently been detailed and thoroughly polished to remove any minor blemishes. All of the exterior trim is in good order, as are the rubber door and window seals and the light lenses, which are free of any damage or hazing.

This S1 rides on its original set of 18-inch five-spoke alloy wheels, which are painted in metallic grey with diamond cut faces. The rear passenger-side item would benefit from professional refurbishment due to some minor scuffs. The seller notes that the paint covering the wheel hubs behind the alloys has degraded slightly as a dealer cleaned the wheels with an acidic product.

As in all modern Audis, this S1’s cabin is a sophisticated and refined space, with high-quality materials and excellent fit and finish. The supportive seats feature black fabric centres detailed with red stripes, while their bolsters are upholstered in black leather. The rear seats appear to be in great shape, and the fronts are also in very good order, with little visible wear on the driver’s outer bolster.

Ahead of the driver, the S1-branded steering wheel is also very smart, and its black leather covering and red stitching show few signs of use. The other interior touchpoints, including the manual gear knob, stereo buttons and heater controls also present extremely well.

Factory-fitted equipment includes rear parking sensors, climate control, cruise control, Bluetooth and auto-beam headlights. The seller reports that all of the interior buttons, controls and other electrical items work without issue, and that there are no warning lights displayed on the dashboard.

Routinely serviced from new, this car’s last scheduled maintenance was carried out in July 2020 at 29,805 miles by Audi Sheffield, where technicians changed the engine oil and oil filter, and serviced the Haldex Quattro all-wheel drive system. Prior to this, the car was serviced in October 2019 at 26,551 miles – again by Audi Sheffield – that included replacing the dust and pollen filter, and renewal of the brake fluid. A full summary is included below.

This hot hatch’s last MOT test was conducted on 8 October 2020 at 30,453 miles, which it passed first time with no advisories. All four alloy wheels were recently fitted with a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres, which have ample tread remaining, having covered just 8,000 miles to date.

This S1 will be accompanied by its comprehensive annual service history documentation from its first and second owners, plus receipts for its four newly fitted tyres.

Offering all-wheel drive grip, a peppy turbocharged 2.0-litre engine and the practicality of a five-door hatchback, this Audi S1 is a consummate all-rounder. Presented in an understated factory colour combination and in excellent condition throughout, it would make a superb daily driver for any enthusiast, who will relish in its all-season agility during more spirited drives.
