2018 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.3L Petrol · CV68 OKH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in June 2025 with 55,198 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive preventative care. While the June 2025 test initially failed due to a single nearside front tyre being below the legal limit, the immediate pass after just four miles later indicates that the owner is willing to address critical safety failures once flagged by the tester. The mileage pattern is consistent with low usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,900 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 11,205 miles between the March 2024 test at 43,993 miles and the June 2025 test at 55,198 miles. This suggests periods of lower activity, which can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components or brake caliper seals, though the overall record does not indicate any mechanical strain on the drivetrain or engine components. A buyer should pay close attention to the recurring tyre and braking issues identified in the history. The March 2023 failure at 33,366 miles revealed a systemic neglect of basic consumables, with three tyres worn to the legal limit and a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system. The presence of a nearside front brake pipe being inadequately clipped during that same test suggests that work may have been rushed. During a physical inspection, the brake lines should be checked for secure seating and corrosion, and the tyre pressure monitoring system must be verified to ensure the sensors are fully functional, as this was a previous point of failure.
