2019 Mercedes-Benz A 1.9L Diesel · GY69 EVM

The vehicle holds a current MOT pass certificate dated 25 April 2026 at 97,186 miles, making the record highly recent relative to today's date. The maintenance trend is stable but shows a recurring pattern of minor suspension component wear rather than a history of serious structural or mechanical failure. The most recent test identified slight play in the offside front lower suspension arm ball joint, a condition first flagged on the nearside in May 2025 at 82,753 miles. This suggests front suspension ball joints are entering a wear phase typical for the mileage, with the issue migrating from one side to the other over a twelve-month interval. The mileage accumulation of roughly 13,884 miles per year is high for a seven-year-old A-Class, and the record shows a notable gap between April 2024 at 65,650 miles and April 2026 at 97,186 miles, representing approximately 31,500 miles covered in two years. The 2025 test cluster at 82,753 miles shows both a fail and a pass on the same date, indicating the owner addressed the headlamp aim and tyre issues promptly after the initial failure. No extended periods of inactivity are evident; the vehicle appears to have been in consistent daily use. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on the front suspension and steering components. The repeated advisory for slight play in suspension arm ball joints across multiple tests and both sides indicates these components are wearing progressively. Have a mechanic check for play in the front lower arms, anti-roll bar links, and drop links, as the 2024 test also flagged slight play in the anti-roll bar ball joints. Tyre wear has appeared as an advisory on two separate occasions, including edge wear on the nearside rear, so inspect the tyres for uneven wear patterns and verify wheel alignment settings. Given the high mileage, also examine the brake discs and pads for wear, check the exhaust system for corrosion, and inspect the subframes and suspension mounting points for any signs of rust or cracking consistent with a vehicle covering above-average annual mileage.
