2019 Mercedes-Benz A 2.0L Petrol · E3 XCB

The vehicle holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 21 May 2026 at 77,105 miles, indicating current roadworthiness. The maintenance trend shows a pattern of neglect regarding tyre management, as the vehicle failed its most recent inspection due to uneven tyre wear and a failed suspension ball joint. While the suspension component was rectified within twenty-four hours, the persistent flagging of tyres worn on their edges suggests an underlying issue with wheel alignment or tracking that has not been professionally addressed. The recorded mileage of 77,105 miles over seven years averages roughly 11,000 miles annually, which aligns with standard usage patterns for this class of vehicle. The history is consistent, showing steady accumulation between annual tests without significant gaps or periods of inactivity. The lack of advisories in the 2024 and 2025 tests suggests the car was maintained to a reasonable standard during those intervals, though the transition to multiple failures in the 2026 test cycle indicates a recent decline in proactive servicing. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the suspension geometry and tyre condition. The recurring reports of tyres wearing on their edges point toward potential misalignment or worn bushings that may accelerate future tyre degradation. Furthermore, verify that the supplementary restraint system fault identified in May 2024 was resolved with a permanent repair rather than a temporary reset, as electronic sensor issues can be indicative of deeper electrical faults. Check the inner and outer edges of all four tyres for uneven wear patterns, as this will confirm whether the tracking issues reported in the most recent test have been fully corrected.
