2018 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.6L Petrol · DE18 PVT

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, passing its most recent test on July 24 2026 with no defects recorded. This follows an improvement in mechanical presentation compared to the 2024 test, where the tester identified a loose nearside rear lower exhaust silencer due to a missing mounting bolt. The absence of advisories in the two most recent tests suggests that previously flagged wear and tear issues have been addressed. At a recorded 49,733 miles, the eight-year-old vehicle has averaged approximately 6,217 miles per year. This usage pattern aligns with typical annual mileage for a car of this age. The record shows a consistent testing interval, with entries performed annually from 2022 through 2026, indicating the vehicle has not been subject to long periods of inactivity which can often lead to accelerated degradation of rubber-based components. A physical inspection should focus on the braking and tyre components highlighted in the May 2023 record. That test flagged front brake discs as pitted and scored with a sizeable lip, alongside front tyres showing uneven wear on the edges, suggesting potential alignment issues. The rear tyres were also noted for signs of cracking or perishing. While the 2026 record shows no defects, a buyer must verify the current state of the brake rotors and the structural integrity of the sidewalls to ensure previous wear issues were replaced rather than ignored. Buying score: 72 Risk level: Low.
