2021 Mercedes-Benz A 250 AMG Line ED Premium+ E A 1.3L Hybrid electric (clean) · FV71 AEZ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-01-06 at 29,455 miles recorded a pass with no defects. However, a prior failure on 2025-11-04 at 29,447 miles—just 8 miles earlier—also showed no defects, suggesting an anomaly or procedural issue. The 2024-12-28 test at 23,690 miles was a pass with no defects. Overall, the maintenance trend appears stable, with no recurring mechanical issues flagged across three tests. The absence of advisories or critical failures indicates the car has met legal standards, but the lack of detailed defect records limits insight into potential underlying concerns. The vehicle’s mileage of 29,455 miles over five years equates to approximately 5,891 miles annually, significantly below average for its age. This low usage may reflect infrequent operation or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can affect components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers. A notable gap exists between the 2024-12-28 test (23,690 miles) and the 2025-11-04 test (29,447 miles), covering 5,757 miles over 10 months—a rate of ~6,908 miles per year. The subsequent 8-mile increase to 29,455 miles by 2026-01-06 suggests minimal activity in late 2025, raising questions about storage conditions or seasonal use. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly if the car was stored for extended periods, as dry joints or seized bushes may not surface in MOT tests. The brake system, including discs and calipers, should be inspected for corrosion or binding, as low mileage can mask wear in these areas. Structural integrity and exhaust emissions should also be checked, as these are not routinely assessed in MOTs. While the record shows no critical failures, the sparse defect data and unusual mileage patterns warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical health.
