2018 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.3L Petrol · GC05 FFC

This vehicle presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 16 December 2025 at 56,504 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean tests dating back to 2022, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for an eight year old car. Between 10 December 2022 and 16 December 2025, the odometer rose from 31,743 to 56,504 miles. The most significant increase occurred between November 2024 and December 2025, where the vehicle covered 14,650 miles in just over a year. This suggests a shift in usage patterns, but the lack of new advisories during this period of higher mileage indicates the drivetrain and chassis handled the increased load well. The MOT history is unusually sparse regarding defects. Even the failure on 2 December 2023 at 36,856 miles was resolved on the same day, and the record lists no specific defects for that failure, which often suggests a minor administrative error or a very simple fix. There are no mentions of corrosion, suspension bush wear, or brake disc deterioration across the entire five year record. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on consumables that the MOT test may not flag as critical until they reach a limit. Check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake pads, as the recent spike in annual mileage likely accelerated the wear on these components. Inspect the service history for evidence of oil changes and filter replacements to ensure the mechanical upkeep matches the clean MOT record.
