2018 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Diesel · AF68 TVV

The 2018 Mercedes-Benz A-Class presents a currently roadworthy status following a passed MOT on 2 October 2025 at 90,498 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, showing no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the available history. The vehicle cleared its most recent test cleanly after a failed attempt on the same day at 90,496 miles where the tester logged no defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical defect. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for an eight-year-old car, averaging roughly 11,312 miles per year. The record moves from 61,418 miles at the September 2023 test to 78,724 miles in October 2024 and 90,498 miles by October 2025, reflecting steady annual use of around 12,000 to 13,000 miles. The data is sparse, with only three passed tests and two same-day failures logged, but no gaps exceed thirteen months and no warning signs appear in the odometer progression. The repeated same-day fail-and-pass pattern at 90,496 and 90,498 miles in 2025, and at 78,724 and 78,729 miles in 2024, suggests clerical rejections rather than worn components, since no defects or advisories were ever raised. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, and underbody corrosion given the age and the absence of any advisory history to confirm hidden wear was not simply overlooked by testers. Given the clean record, previous owners appear to have maintained basic statutory testing discipline, though the twin failures with zero defects imply lax attention to test booking accuracy. Verify service history and inspect exhaust emissions and structural integrity in person before purchase to validate the paper trail.
