2019 Mercedes-Benz A 1.3L Petrol · FX69 ODJ

This Mercedes-Benz A has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across all five tests, most recently passing on 15 January 2026 at 48,733 miles. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle has consistently met DVSA’s minimum roadworthiness standards, though the most recent test occurred just six months ago—well within the annual MOT cycle. No recurring issues indicate a stable maintenance pattern, though the lack of advisories also means no proactive repairs were logged, leaving some wear-and-tear assessments to the buyer’s discretion. The mileage progression shows a steady accumulation of approximately 6,962 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The largest gap between tests occurred between August 2022 (26,491 miles) and September 2023 (36,484 miles), a span of 14,000 miles over 13 months—slightly above average but not alarming. The most recent 6,000 miles were covered in just three months, suggesting recent active use. No extended periods of inactivity are evident, which could imply the vehicle was regularly driven rather than stored. Given the clean MOT record, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on suspension components, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, which are common wear items on this model. The absence of advisories does not confirm their condition, so check for excessive play in the rear wheel alignment or uneven tyre wear, which could signal degraded suspension. Front brake discs and calipers should also be scrutinised for uneven wear or binding, as the tester did not flag any brake-related issues in previous tests. Structural corrosion, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, warrants inspection, especially if the vehicle has seen wet or salted roads. Finally, verify the integrity of the exhaust system for leaks or excessive rust, as emissions-related failures are not recorded but can develop over time.
