2014 Mercedes-Benz A180 SE ECO CDI 1.5L Heavy oil · LXZ 1040

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable history of clean MOT passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 15 December 2025 at 111,593 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that avoids the common mechanical and structural failures typically seen in cars of this age and mileage. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent with the vehicle's twelve-year age, averaging approximately 9,300 miles per year. Between the October 2023 test at 74,117 miles and the October 2024 test at 89,853 miles, the car covered 15,736 miles, followed by another 21,740 miles in the fourteen months leading up to the December 2025 test. This regularity suggests active, predictable use rather than long periods of standing, which often leads to perished rubber components or seized brake calipers. While the clean records are encouraging, a buyer should still focus on high-wear components typical for a diesel engine exceeding 110,000 miles. Inspection of the front suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers is essential, as these often show wear at this mileage despite passing an MOT. The buyer should also verify the condition of the brake discs and pads and check the exhaust system for signs of excessive corrosion due to the consistent usage noted. The lack of recorded advisories in the last three years suggests the structural integrity remains sound, but a physical check of the sills and arches remains a standard necessary precaution.
