Our Verdict

A strong option for those seeking a mode

Given the MOT record, the primary point of negotiation should be the distorted offside front wheel and the temporary puncture repair on the nearside front tyre. Ensure these are rectified or factored into the price, as a distorted wheel can lead to premature tyre wear or steering vibration.

As a 2023 model, you should verify the presence of a complete manufacturer-approved service history to ensure the engine and diesel particulate filter (DPF) have been maintained according to the required intervals.

The 1950cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency, making this an attractive choice for drivers covering significant distances. Being Euro 6 AP compliant, it avoids charges in most UK Clean Air Zones and ULEZ areas.

Typical costs will include diesel fuel, standard Mercedes-Benz servicing, and insurance based on the A-Class's insurance group. Maintenance costs for this model are generally aligned with premium hatchback expectations.

Carefully inspect the offside front road wheel for the distortion noted in the March 2026 MOT; check for any associated vibration during a test drive. Additionally, examine the nearside front tyre to determine if the 'temporary puncture repair' needs to be replaced with a permanent solution or a new tyre.

General checks should include the condition of the black paintwork and a review of the interior wear, though the recorded mileage is relatively low for its age.

This black 2023 Mercedes-Benz A-Class features a 1950cc diesel engine and has covered 27,950 miles as of its first MOT in March 2026. The vehicle's MOT history shows a pass on its first test, though it did record advisories concerning the front wheels. It offers a contemporary specification with the benefits of Euro 6 AP emissions compliance.

No aggregate MOT data is available for this specific model to determine long-term reliability patterns.
