2018 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.6L Petrol · BW67 NJK

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT in February 2026 at 33,458 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows significant improvement following a period of recurring minor mechanical and consumable failures. While previous tests highlighted issues with wheels and braking components, the clean sheet from the latest inspection indicates that these specific faults were addressed and the vehicle currently meets minimum standards. At eight years old, the recorded mileage of 33,458 miles averages to approximately 4,182 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average. This low-usage pattern is consistent across the records, with a gap of roughly 4,500 miles between the February 2024 and 2025 tests. However, such low annual mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components due to age, which is evidenced by the perishing and cracking tyres noted during the January 2023 test. A buyer should physically inspect the condition of the wheels and tyres, as the February 2025 test flagged distorted road wheels on both the nearside and offside rear. The broken offside front brake flexy hose clip also noted in that test necessitates a thorough check of the hydraulic brake lines to ensure no further degradation has occurred. Given the history of tyre damage and perishing in 2022 and 2023, the current rubber should be examined for sidewall cracking or spotting, as low mileage often masks age-related wear despite sufficient tread depth.
