2018 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.3L Petrol · GY68 AFE

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 5 September 2024 at 39,205 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance record and current roadworthiness. No defects were noted in the 2023 test at 31,441 miles, confirming consistent compliance. The mileage of 39,205 miles after eight years equates to roughly 4,900 miles per year, which is low for a 2018 model and suggests limited use or extended periods of inactivity. The increase from 31,441 miles in September 2023 to 39,205 miles in September 2024 represents an annual rise of 7,764 miles, higher than the average but still below typical wear expectations for a vehicle of this age. A buyer should therefore focus on mechanical components that commonly show wear despite a clean record, such as suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and calipers, as well as checking for structural rust around the wheel arches, chassis rails, and underbody. Inspection of tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition, and exhaust emissions is also advisable, given the vehicle’s low annual mileage and the three‑year gap since the last official test.
