2018 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.3L Petrol · NY68 FDK

This vehicle presents a stable and improving maintenance record. The most recent MOT in August 2025 at 29,792 miles was a clean pass with no defects, following a pattern of consistent, fault-free tests. The only blemish is a same-day failure in November 2024, which was immediately corrected to a pass with no defects recorded, indicating a minor, rectified issue rather than a systemic problem. Overall, the roadworthiness trend is positive and suggests diligent upkeep. The mileage of 29,792 miles over approximately eight years equates to a low annual average of roughly 3,724 miles. This is consistent with light urban use or occasional driving. The mileage increments between tests are logical and gradual, with no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps. For example, the car covered roughly 3,670 miles between November 2023 and November 2024, and a further 3,203 miles by August 2025. This pattern supports genuine low usage rather than prolonged periods of standing. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should still conduct a thorough in-person inspection. Low mileage can mask deterioration from infrequent use, particularly on suspension bushes, brake discs, and tyres, which may have aged or corroded despite limited wear. Check for binding calipers, uneven tyre wear, and any signs of corrosion on brake components or the exhaust system. A professional inspection of the suspension and steering components is advisable to confirm they remain in good order, as these items are common wear points on this model.
