2022 Mercedes-Benz AMG A 35 Premium + 4MATIC ED A 2.0L Petrol · FL13 AMG

The vehicle presents a fully clean MOT record with no defects, advisories, or fails at either recorded test, indicating a stable and well-maintained condition through to the most recent inspection on 11 April 2026 at 41,205 miles. The maintenance trend is unambiguously stable. No recurring faults, structural corrosion, or mechanical deterioration have been flagged by DVSA testers across the documented history. The mileage progression tells a consistent story. Between the March 2025 test at 31,123 miles and the April 2026 test at 41,205 miles, the car covered 10,082 miles in roughly thirteen months, which aligns closely with the overall lifetime average of approximately 10,301 miles per year. There are no anomalous gaps or sudden spikes in accumulation that would suggest long periods of disuse or unusually intensive use. The record is sparse, with only two logged tests, but both are clean passes, and the most recent certificate remains valid until April 2027. Despite the clean paperwork, a buyer should still carry out a thorough physical inspection. The AMG A 35 is a high-performance variant with a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine, 4MATIC all-wheel drive, and firmer suspension tuning, all of which place additional stress on drivetrain mounts, suspension bushes, and brake components. A test drive should assess for any binding calipers, uneven brake disc wear, or delayed turbo response that may not yet have reached an MOT failure threshold. Tyre condition and tread depth across all four corners deserve close attention given the all-wheel-drive system's sensitivity to mismatched rolling diameters. Underbody inspection is equally important. Check for corrosion on subframes, suspension mounting points, and along the exhaust system, particularly around the downpipe and flexi-joint, which are common failure points on hot turbocharged engines. Inspect the condition of the coil springs and damper housings for any signs of weeping or cracking. A clean MOT record is encouraging, but it is a snapshot taken on a single day. A pre-purchase inspection by a qualified technician remains the most reliable way to confirm the car's long-term mechanical integrity.
