2015 Mercedes-Benz A45 2.0L Petrol · AY65 FDK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 11 August 2025 at 81,318 miles with no recorded defects. This indicates that the mechanical and safety issues identified in previous years have been addressed. The overall maintenance trend is currently improving, as the car returned to a clean sheet following a period of noted component wear in 2024. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. Between August 2021 at 49,102 miles and August 2025 at 81,318 miles, the car covered roughly 32,000 miles, showing steady and predictable usage. This low annual mileage generally suggests less strain on the drivetrain components and rubber bushings, though it can sometimes lead to surface corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus specifically on the braking system during a physical inspection. The 2024 test at 72,678 miles flagged front and rear brake discs as pitted or scored alongside thin front pads. While the 2025 test suggests these were replaced or refurbished, a physical check should verify the current thickness of the pads and check for any remaining glazing or uneven caliper pressure. Given the high-performance nature of the A45, ensuring the braking hardware is in peak condition is critical for maintaining the vehicle's intended safety and safety.
