2013 MERCEDES-BENZ A180 BLUEEFFICIENCY SE CDI1.5L DIESEL

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 9 October 2025 at 116,256 miles. This pass followed a failure just one day prior at only 48 miles lower, which suggests a minor defect was rectified immediately before the retest. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has maintained no recorded defects across the last three successful tests, indicating a lack of escalating mechanical or structural failures. The mileage profile is consistent with a thirteen-year-old diesel vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per annum. A significant interval of 19,907 miles was covered between May 2023 and June 2024, followed by a more rapid accumulation of 11,880 miles between June 2024 and October 2025. This recent usage pattern suggests the car is driven regularly, which is generally beneficial for the diesel particulate filter and engine components to prevent carbon buildup often associated with long periods of inactivity. While the record is clean of recurring advisories, a buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of the suspension components and brake system. Given the age and mileage of this Mercedes, close attention should be paid to wear on control arm bushes and signs of corrosion on the brake discs. The buyer should also verify the absence of any structural rust on the underbody, as the MOT only identifies these issues once they reach a specific threshold of depth or failure.
