2018 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Diesel · FT68 AUE

The 2018 Mercedes-Benz A-Class presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 1 December 2025 at 67,385 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of passes since the earliest available entry. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the five-year MOT span, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work at any annual examination. Annual mileage has tracked close to typical expectations for an eight-year-old car. The record shows 37,404 miles at the 17 December 2021 test, rising to 46,264 by 9 December 2022, 51,393 by 11 December 2023, 59,680 by 2 December 2024, and 67,385 by 1 December 2025. That equates to roughly 8,000 to 8,400 miles added each year with no sudden accumulation or standing gaps. The DVSA data is sparse in fault detail because every test returned a clear pass with no noted wear items. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection despite the unblemished record. The absence of advisories does not exempt the car from age-related degradation in suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc wear that testers may not have flagged under pass thresholds. At 67,385 miles the original dampers and exhaust system are subject to fatigue even without recorded corrosion or emissions failure. Previous keepers clearly kept the vehicle to a standard that cleared MOT without defect. The clean history implies routine servicing rather than deferred consumable replacement. Verify service stamps against the mileage points above and check underside structural integrity, tyre sidewall condition, and caliper operation before purchase.
