2013 Mercedes-Benz A 200 1.8L Diesel · DV63 CNF

The vehicle is roadworthy as of the most recent MOT on 2 July 2026 at 101,890 miles, passing without any recorded defects. Earlier advisories – a rear nail in the nearside tyre (2024), fluctuating front service brakes (2023), and severely deteriorated upper anti‑roll bar ball‑joint dust covers (2022) – have not recurred, indicating that the noted issues were addressed and the overall maintenance trend remains stable. Mileage has accrued to 101,890 miles over thirteen years, averaging roughly 7,800 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The record shows regular annual testing, with the longest interval between tests being twelve months, and no unexplained gaps. The jump from 93,666 miles in July 2025 to 101,890 miles in July 2026 reflects a normal yearly increase, suggesting consistent, moderate use rather than periods of neglect or excessive mileage accumulation. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the tyre condition, confirming that the nearside rear tyre is free of punctures and that tread depth across all four tyres meets legal requirements, as past wear on front tyres approached the limit. Inspection of the front suspension should include the upper anti‑roll bar ball‑joint dust covers and surrounding bushings for any lingering deterioration or corrosion, given the 2022 advisory. Brake performance warrants a functional check; although the 2023 test noted only minor service‑brake fluctuation, a firm pedal feel and even pad wear remain essential. Finally, a visual survey of the chassis for rust or structural compromise will verify that no hidden damage has developed since the last clean MOT.
