MERCEDES-BENZ A2021 · 1.3L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a minor lapse in preventative maintenance. While the car passed its test on 19 June 2026 with no defects recorded, it failed just one day prior due to critical tyre issues. The presence of an offside front tyre significantly below the legal tread limit and a nearside rear tyre worn close to the limit suggests that consumable components were not addressed immediately prior to the annual testing requirement. At 45,095 miles, the vehicle has averaged approximately 9,000 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK usage for a five-year-old car. The mileage shows a steady progression, moving from 25,204 miles in 2024 to 31,561 in 2025, and reaching over 45,000 by 2026. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme stress or long periods of stagnation. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the alignment and suspension geometry. The advisory regarding the nearside rear tyre being worn on the edge is a common indicator of incorrect tracking or worn suspension bushes, which should be verified to ensure even wear across all tyres. Additionally, given the recent failure, the buyer must confirm that all four tyres have been replaced with high-quality units and that the alignment was professionally rectified.
