MERCEDES-BENZ A-CLASS2019 · 1.9L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 15 May 2026 at 83,885 miles. While the car maintains a passing record, the trend shows a recurring issue with tyre management. The most recent inspection flagged a nearside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit with edge cracking in the tread, indicating that the owner is delaying replacement of consumables until they reach the point of legal failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per annum. There was a notable increase in usage between December 2022 and January 2024, where the car covered over 14,000 miles in just fourteen months. However, the interval has remained steady, with 15,204 miles recorded between the April 2025 and May 2026 tests. This level of use suggests the vehicle is used for regular commuting rather than sitting stationary, which typically places predictable wear on suspension components, bushings, and braking components. A buyer should specifically inspect the front alignment and suspension geometry, as the repeated reports of edge wear on the front tyres in January 2024 and December 2022 suggest a persistent tracking issue or worn suspension joints. The recent finding of a cracked nearside rear tyre also implies the rubber may be aging or poorly maintained, necessitating a check for dry rot. Given the lack of structural corrosion or brake defects in the history, the primary focus should remain on verifying the condition of the tyres and ensuring the wheels are properly aligned to prevent further premature wear.
