2021 Mercedes-Benz A 180 AMG Line ED Premium + A 1.3L Petrol · EP71 TTT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 19 June 2026 at 42,363 miles. The maintenance trend appears improving following a significant failure in the previous year. The most recent inspection shows that all previously flagged defects have been addressed, and the absence of advisories in the report suggests the vehicle is currently in a stable state regarding mechanical compliance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. Between the July 2024 test at 23,591 miles and the July 2025 test at 34,063 miles, the car covered over 10,000 miles, indicating a slight increase in annual usage. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used regularly, which typically helps prevent the degradation of seals and rubber components often associated with long periods of standing stationary. The failure on 11 July 2025 reveals a past lapse in preventative maintenance. The tester flagged both the nearside and offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joints as excessively worn, alongside three tyre failures involving cuts reaching the cords and an offside rear nail. While these issues were rectified to achieve a pass 24 hours later, a prospective buyer should personally inspect the front suspension components to ensure no further play exists in the ball joints or bushings. Given the history of tyre damage, a thorough visual check of the current tyres is necessary to identify sidewall damage or uneven wear patterns. The buyer should also verify the condition of the front suspension, as the previous wear on the anti-roll bar links can sometimes indicate broader alignment issues. The lack of structural corrosion noted in the 2026 record indicates that the chassis integrity of this Mercedes remains sound at this stage.
