Our Verdict
A highly attractive example of the modern Mercedes-Benz A-Class with exceptionally low mileage and a clean MOT record. It is a safe bet for those seeking a premium hatchback with minimal mechanical wear.
When inspecting this specific vehicle, verify that the service history is up to date; despite low mileage, Mercedes requires strict annual servicing to keep the turbo-charged engine healthy. Since the car has sat for relatively long periods, check for any signs of rubber degradation, as the 2024 advisory noted potential perishing on the rear tyres.
Pay attention to the 2024 MOT advisory regarding front brake discs; while they were not excessively worn then, you should ensure they have been replaced since the last test. Given the low mileage, ensure the infotainment system and MBUX interface are functioning flawlessly, as electronic gremlins can be expensive to rectify in this premium model.
The 1332cc petrol engine is relatively efficient, typically falling into a mid-range insurance group and moderate tax band. You can expect decent fuel economy around 45-52 MPG depending on driving style, making it sensible for a daily commuter.
Maintenance will be higher than a standard Japanese hatchback due to Mercedes parts pricing and specialist labour rates. Typical annual costs, including fuel, insurance, and routine servicing, will likely fall between £1,200 and £1,600.
Focus specifically on the tyres, as the 2024 MOT advisory mentioned cracking or perishing on the rear 225/45/18 tyres. If these haven't been replaced recently, they represent an immediate cost cost regardless of tread depth.
Check the braking system thoroughly. The previous MOT noted worn front discs; ensure the discs and pads are currently fresh to avoid thin rotors. Additionally, inspect the underbody for any fluid leaks, as low-mileage cars that sometimes sit can occasionally dry out seals.
This 2020 Mercedes-Benz A-Class presents in excellent condition, having covered just under 30,000 miles in its six-year life. The MOT history is exemplary, with no failures and only minor advisories regarding wear, suggesting the car has been well-maintained. The 1.3cc petrol engine offers a balanced choice for urban driving while maintaining the brand's signature interior quality standards.
The 1.3cc engine used in the W177 is generally considered reliable, provided the manufacturer-recommended service intervals are strictly followed.
