2018 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.3L Petrol · FT68 AOW

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean roadworthiness record with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 28 November 2025 at 41,090 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to November 2021, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is low for an eight year old car, averaging roughly 5,136 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady over the recorded period, moving from 18,840 miles in November 2021 to 41,090 miles by November 2025. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or long periods of unexplained inactivity that would suggest neglect or commercial misuse. Because the MOT history is devoid of any advisories regarding brake wear, suspension bushes, or corrosion, there are no specific red flags to investigate. However, low-mileage vehicles can suffer from perished rubber components or brake disc corrosion due to lack of use. A physical inspection should focus on the condition of the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking and ensure the brake calipers are not sticking. The absence of any flagged defects over five consecutive tests suggests a disciplined approach to ownership. A buyer should simply verify that the service intervals have been met in the handbook, as the MOT record confirms the vehicle is structurally and mechanically sound but does not provide a full history of oil changes or filter replacements.
