2018 MERCEDES-BENZ A-CLASS2.0L Petrol

The Mercedes-Benz A-Class has a current roadworthiness status of failed, as indicated by the most recent MOT test on February 26, 2026. However, the maintenance trend is not worsening, as the vehicle passed the previous test in 2024. The recent failure is attributed to worn, pitted, or scored front brake discs and a slight service brake lag, which are minor issues that can be addressed through routine maintenance. The recorded mileage of 67,043 miles, accumulated over approximately 8 years, is roughly typical for its age, with an average annual mileage of around 8,380 miles. There are no notable gaps in the mileage pattern, and the data suggests a relatively consistent usage history. The vehicle has been serviced regularly, with no defects recorded in the 2024 and 2023 MOT tests. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's brake system in person, paying close attention to the condition of the front brake discs and the service brake's operation. The nearside and offside front track rod end ball joints, which showed slight play in the 2021 test, should also be examined for any signs of wear or damage. Furthermore, the windscreen damage, which has been present since 2021, should be assessed to ensure it does not compromise the driver's view. The buyer should also inspect the vehicle's suspension and steering components, as the slight play in the track rod end ball joints may indicate underlying issues. Additionally, the vehicle's structural integrity should be evaluated for any signs of corrosion or damage, particularly around the front suspension and steering components.
