2018 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Diesel · GD18 AEX

The vehicle currently presents a high level of roadworthiness, with the most recent MOT test on 8 July 2026 showing a clean pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend has improved significantly since 2021, moving from a multi-fault failure to several consecutive years of defect-free inspections. This shift suggests that the previous issues identified were addressed and that the vehicle has entered a period of consistent upkeep. The mileage accumulation appears steady and consistent with the vehicle's age. Between the July 2022 test at 43,960 miles and the March 2024 test at 49,097 miles, the car covered roughly 5,000 miles. The most recent interval between August 2025 at 50,004 miles and July 2026 at 50,471 miles shows very low usage of just 467 miles. This pattern of low annual mileage, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year, indicates light usage which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front axle and braking system to ensure the 2021 issues remain resolved. The tester flagged thin front brake pads, worn discs, a distorted road wheel, and tyre damage in the July 2021 test. While the subsequent passes in 2022, 2024, 2025, and 2026 indicate these components were replaced or repaired, a manual check of the brake disc surface for scoring and the front suspension for any signs of play or bushing wear is prudent. Given the very low mileage recorded in the last year, the buyer should also inspect the tyres for age-related cracking or flat spots resulting from periods of standing.
