2020 Mercedes-Benz A 1.3L Petrol · CX04 SAM

The vehicle presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 March 2026 at 20,285 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 28 March 2025 at 15,723 miles confirms no outstanding advisories or mechanical concerns across the recorded history. The mileage pattern shows exceptionally low use for a six-year-old vehicle. From the 6 April 2023 test at 4,653 miles, the car covered only 8,442 miles to the 4 April 2024 pass at 13,095 miles, then 2,628 miles to the March 2025 tests, and a further 4,562 miles by March 2026. A failed test on 28 March 2025 at 15,723 miles recorded no defects, indicating an administrative or presentational rejection rather than a mechanical fault, with an immediate clean pass logged the same day. Low annual accumulation of roughly 3,381 miles suggests prolonged standing periods, which can degrade tyres, brake discs, and suspension bushes through stagnation rather than friction wear. The absence of any recorded advisories on corrosion, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity is a positive signal of prior storage and care quality. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of brake calipers for binding after idle spells, check suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing, and verify underbody structural integrity for hidden corrosion. The clean MOT trail implies conscientious upkeep, but low mileage alone does not exempt the car from age-related rubber and fluid degradation.
