2013 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 2.0L Petrol · GV13 UHH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT test on 18 June 2025 with 76,977 miles and no recorded defects. This success follows a failure just two days prior at 76,968 miles which notably listed no defects, suggesting a potential administrative error or a minor issue rectified immediately prior to the re-test. The history indicates a consistent pass record without recurring mechanical degradation or structural failure over the last three testing cycles. At thirteen years old, the recorded mileage of 76,977 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,900 miles. This low-mileage usage pattern is consistent, with the car covering only 3,666 miles between June 2024 and June 2025, and 5,078 miles between June 2023 and June 2024. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of relative standing can lead to the degradation of rubber components and the corrosion of brake discs and fluid seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age-related wear rather than high-mile fatigue. Check the suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs for cracking or tearing as these perish over time regardless of distance driven. Inspect the brake system for pitting on the discs and seized calipers which often occur on vehicles used infrequently. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion along the sills and wheel arches is necessary despite the MOT record not flagging any current rust.
