2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.3L Petrol · CP68 PZA

The most recent MOT was on 2026-03-18 at 26,337 miles — just three months ago — and it passed with no defects. That’s a strong, up-to-date endorsement of roadworthiness. Two earlier MOTs — on 2025-11-24 and 2024-11-21 — each show a curious pattern: a FAIL followed immediately by a PASS, both recorded on the same day and at identical mileages (25,203 and 19,658 respectively). This strongly suggests administrative or procedural issues — such as a failed initial test due to a minor, easily rectified item like a bulb or tyre pressure — rather than underlying mechanical faults. There are no defect records listed for any of these tests, so no safety-critical or recurring mechanical problems are evidenced. The MOT history shows stability: no defects across five tests over nearly two years, including two passes since the last failure event. The vehicle’s condition trend is not worsening; it appears consistently well-maintained and compliant. At 26,337 miles over seven years, this A-Class has covered only ~3,760 miles per year — significantly below average. Low mileage can indicate light use, but also risks associated with infrequent operation: degraded brake fluid, aged coolant or transmission oil, stiff rubber bushings, or seized calipers from lack of movement. It does not imply hard use or excessive wear — but nor does it guarantee freshness.
