Audi A1 prices in the UK
The average used Audi A1 listed for £12,973 in the UK as of July 2026 (median £12,990), based on 12,103 ScanAuctions price observations. The value sweet spot is a 2018 car at around £10,915 — 19.6% less than a 2019.
The A1 in the used market
The A1 is the most expensive way to buy a supermini, and its used prices hold a stubborn premium over the Polo it's based on — the badge does real work here. First-generation cars (2010–2018) are now attainable; the Mk2 (2018 on) is bigger and stays close to new-money. Small petrol engines and city mileage are the norm, so condition beats specification at the cheap end.

Audi A1 price by year

Value sweet spot: 2018. A 2018 Audi A1 averages £10,915 — 19.6% less than a 2019 — the biggest one-year price drop on this model. Drops this size usually sit where a model changes generation, so the saving buys the outgoing shape — check which body style the year gets you before assuming it’s the same car.
