2014 Mercedes-Benz A180 Blueefficiency Sport CDI 1.5L Diesel · YT64 OHC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record in its most recent inspection. The MOT test conducted on 4 August 2025 at 97,336 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets all statutory safety requirements. While a failure occurred in May 2024, the subsequent pass just one month later suggests that the owner was proactive in addressing identified faults immediately rather than allowing mechanical issues to persist. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,100 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, with 10,000 miles covered between February 2022 and March 2023, and another 11,000 miles between March 2023 and June 2024. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to perished seals or seized brake components in higher-mileage diesel engines like this A-Class. Given the clean results of the last two tests, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on age-related components that MOT tests often miss. At nearly 100,000 miles, the suspension bushes and coil springs may be showing signs of wear or rubber cracking, which affects handling quality. The prospective buyer should also check for thinning on the brake discs and inspect the tyre pads, as the MOT does not measure the depth of these consumables. Because the vehicle is twelve years old, a thorough underbody check for corrosion remains essential, particularly around the sills and arches where moisture tends to collect.
