2022 Mercedes-Benz A 250 AMG Line ED Premium+ E A 1.3L Hybrid electric · BC22 CDU

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2026‑03‑03 at 34,804 miles, but the tester flagged an advisory on the nearside front road wheel – the inner bead was slightly distorted (buckled) under clause 5.2.2(c)(i). The earlier history shows a failure on 2025‑03‑12 at 21,574 miles due to ply or cords damage on the nearside rear inner tyre, rectified and retested the same day with a clean pass at 21,587 miles. The pattern indicates a stable condition with a lingering minor defect rather than a deteriorating trend. Mileage accumulation over roughly four years totals 34,804 miles, averaging about 8,700 miles per year – a typical rate for the model’s age. The jump from 21,587 miles on 2025‑03‑12 to 34,804 miles on 2026‑03‑03 represents roughly 13,200 miles in about 11.5 months, a higher than average gain that points to intensive use between tests. The immediate correction of the rear tyre failure suggests reactive maintenance rather than systematic neglect. A buyer should inspect the nearside front road wheel for any buckling or distortion of the inner bead, as the advisory may indicate structural compromise of the rim. The rear inner tyre that previously showed ply or cord damage must be examined for internal reinforcement and uneven wear. Also check suspension bushes, brake disc condition, and look for corrosion on the chassis, given the rapid mileage increase and the wheel defect. These checks will confirm whether the minor advisory translates into a larger issue.
