2013 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.6L Petrol · CV13 HKC

The 2013 Mercedes-Benz A-Class presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 October 2025 at 107,967 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 14 October 2024 at 105,286 miles confirms no outstanding advisories or mechanical concerns across the last two cycles. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,300 miles per year. The record shows 92,172 miles at the 4 October 2022 test, rising to 99,991 miles by 10 October 2023, then 105,286 miles in October 2024, and 107,967 miles in October 2025. The annual increments of around 6,000 to 7,800 miles reflect consistent, moderate use with no abrupt accumulation or prolonged standing gaps. The DVSA data is sparse but clean, with only a failed entry on 14 October 2024 that carried no recorded defects, suggesting an administrative or presentational rejection rather than a fault-based failure. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and mileage. The absence of advisories across five years implies previous owners addressed wear proactively, yet undocumented corrosion or tired consumables such as tyres and wiper blades may exist outside the test scope. Given the fault-free history, structural integrity and exhaust emissions show no flagged risk in the official record. Verify in person that the 2024 failure with no defects was a clerical anomaly and not a masked issue, then proceed on the strength of an unbroken pass sequence since 2022.
