2020 Mercedes-Benz A 1.3L Petrol · EY70 BXL

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status following a clean inspection history. The most recent MOT test conducted in September 2025 at 75,212 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that any previous mechanical issues have been addressed. While the car suffered a single failure in September 2024, the immediate retest on the same day suggests the owner was proactive in rectifying identified faults to maintain legal road standards. The vehicle has covered 75,212 miles over approximately six years, averaging roughly 12,500 miles per annum. This usage profile sits above the national average for a modern hatchback, suggesting consistent motorway or urban commuting rather than long periods of inactivity. Between the September 2023 test at 52,975 miles and the September 2024 test at 66,432 miles, the car clocked over 13,000 miles in a single year, placing significant pressure on wear items such as suspension bushings, brake components, and tyres. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components likely responsible for the 2024 failure, although the record does not specify the exact cause of that lapse. Given the high mileage relative to the age, a close look at the front suspension arms and shock absorbers for leaks or play is advisable. The brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or thinness, as high-mileage usage accelerates the degradation of the braking system. The lack of structural advisories across the last three tests suggests the integrity of the chassis remains sound for now.
