2018 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Diesel · AF18 NMJ

The 2018 Mercedes-Benz A-Class presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 January 2026 at 113,341 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of passes across every available MOT entry. No advisories or faults appear at any point in the five-year record, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the test scope during this period. Mileage sits high for an eight-year-old car at 113,341 miles, averaging roughly 14,168 miles per year. The records show uneven accumulation rather than steady use. Between the 31 January 2023 test at 58,530 miles and the 19 January 2024 test at 86,116 miles the car covered 27,586 miles in under twelve months. A further 24,763 miles were added by 17 January 2025 at 110,879 miles, then only 2,462 miles to the January 2026 test. The sparse five-entry history with zero defects limits insight into consumable condition but shows no test failures or deferred repairs. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection despite the clean sheet. High annual mileage concentrated in 2023 to 2024 places load on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and drivetrain seals that MOT passes without advisories do not confirm as sound. The low 2,462-mile gap before the 2026 test may mask standing moisture corrosion or flat-spotted tyres from disuse. Verify underside structural integrity, brake caliper operation and exhaust emissions at the current 113,341-mile state. The absence of recorded faults reflects test-day condition only, not component remaining life on a high-mileage executive hatch.
