2018 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.3L Petrol · C23 NCO

The vehicle presents a generally stable maintenance profile, though the most recent MOT on 15 January 2026 at 66,558 miles indicates a slight decline in consumable upkeep. While the car passed the test, the inspector flagged a cut on the offside rear tyre and noted the nearside rear tyre was worn close to the legal limit. This follows a clean pass in January 2025 at 54,594 miles, suggesting that while major mechanical components have remained reliable, the management of tyres has become less consistent recently. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 66,558 miles, averaging roughly 8,300 miles per year. The data shows steady progression, moving from 21,003 miles in July 2021 to 37,453 miles in December 2023, and reaching 66,558 miles by early 2026. This gradual increase suggests regular road use rather than long periods of inactivity, which helps mitigate risks associated with seized components or perished rubber seals. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyre condition and wheel alignment. The MOT history shows a recurring pattern of tyres being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges, specifically noted in July 2021, January 2023, and most recently in January 2026. This trend often points to uneven tread wear caused by incorrect tyre pressures or misaligned suspension geometry. Checking the condition of suspension bushes and tracking would be a prudent step to ensure the vehicle is not prematurely wearing through its rubber components. Brake maintenance also requires attention. The July 2021 test identified thin front brake pads, and while no brake issues were flagged in subsequent tests, the recurring tyre wear issues suggest the vehicle should be checked for any underlying steering or suspension faults. Beyond these consumable items, the absence of structural corrosion or emissions failures across the recorded history suggests the vehicle has been kept in a mechanically sound state.
