2018 MERCEDES-BENZ A-CLASS1.6L PETROL

The vehicle is in a roadworthy state having passed its most recent MOT on 18 December 2025 at 39,509 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, although the failure earlier on that same day indicates that specific defects were addressed immediately following the test. The tester flagged issues with headlamp aim, a damaged windscreen, and both front tyres, which were subsequently rectified to achieve the pass. This suggests a reactive approach to maintenance rather than a systemic mechanical or structural failure. The mileage profile is low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,939 miles annually. The data shows consistent usage over the years, with a 331-mile interval recorded between June 2022 and October 2023, followed by a 6,657-mile increase between October 2023 and December 2024. This low-intensity usage typically means less wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings, though the long intervals of low mileage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber seals or brake components if the vehicle is not driven regularly. A buyer should physically inspect the front tyres to ensure the cuts noted in the December 2025 test have been replaced with new rubber rather than merely being monitored. Given the headlamp aim failure, verify that the units are now correctly aligned and do not dazzle oncoming traffic. Since no structural or mechanical defects were recorded during the 2022 to 2024 tests, there is no immediate evidence of significant corrosion or failing mechanical components, but a check of the brake discs for surface pitting is advisable given the low-mileage pattern.
