MERCEDES-BENZ A-CLASS2018 · 1.5L Diesel

The vehicle shows a stable maintenance trend based on the available data, having passed its last two inspections without any defects or advisories. The most recent test on 20 October 2022 at 57,739 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating the car met all roadworthiness standards at that time. The mileage is typical for an eight year old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,217 miles per year. Between the October 2021 test at 53,786 miles and the October 2022 test at 57,739 miles, the car covered 3,953 miles. This suggests consistent, moderate usage rather than excessive wear or long periods of stagnation. A significant data gap exists between the last recorded test in October 2022 and the current date of July 2026. The vehicle has lacked an official MOT for over three years, which makes the 2022 record an unreliable indicator of its current mechanical state. This gap suggests the car may have been stored or neglected, increasing the risk of seized brake calipers, perished tyres, and degraded battery health. A physical inspection must prioritise the braking system and suspension components, as these often deteriorate during long periods of inactivity. Check for corrosion on the brake discs and ensure the tyres have not developed flat spots or sidewall cracking. Given the age and the lack of recent testing, a full service history check is necessary to confirm if oil changes and filter replacements continued despite the absence of MOT entries.
