Our Verdict
A reasonable option for a modern hatchba
When inspecting this specific grey 1.3L petrol model, pay close attention to the tyres. The MOT history shows that both nearside and offside rear tyres have been flagged for cracking or perishing in 2023, 2025, and 2026. This suggests a recurring issue with tyre age or storage conditions rather than just wear. Ensure any new tyres fitted are of a high standard and not nearing the end of their shelf life.
Additionally, verify that the offside front coil spring, which caused a failure in March 2026, has been replaced with a high-quality part. You should also check the brake pads, as the 2024 MOT recorded thin pads on both the front and rear axles. Ask for evidence of recent brake servicing to ensure the vehicle is meeting safety standards beyond the minimum MOT requirements.
The 1332cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group and tax band, making it suitable for many drivers. Fuel economy for this A-Class variant is typically efficient for a premium hatchback, though actual figures will depend on driving style.
Maintenance costs for Mercedes-Benz vehicles tend to be higher than for non-premium brands. Expect typical servicing costs to include regular oil changes and, as seen in the MOT history, periodic replacements of tyres, brake pads, and suspension components like coil springs. An estimated annual running cost of £1,100-£1,400 should account for fuel, tax, insurance, and scheduled maintenance.
The most critical area to inspect is the suspension and wheel assembly. The March 2026 failure specifically highlighted a fractured offside front coil spring; check the vehicle for any unusual knocks or clunks when driving over bumps.
Secondly, examine the condition of all four tyres. Given the repeated advisories for cracking and perishing on the rear tyres across multiple years (2023, 2025, and 2026), you must ensure the current set is not showing similar signs of age-related degradation. Finally, check the brake discs and pads, as the 2024 MOT indicated significant wear on both axles.
This 2020 Mercedes-Benz A-Class (AN69KAM) has covered 37,300 miles as of its last MOT, which is slightly above the model average of 8,269 miles per year. The MOT record shows a pattern of tyre-related advisories and a recent failure involving a broken coil spring and tyres. While it has passed its tests, the recurring nature of the tyre issues is a notable data point.
Based on an aggregate of 98,618 vehicles, this model has an 89.3% average MOT pass rate, with tyres being a common failure reason across the fleet.
