2018 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.6L Petrol · HF18 HFT

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, evidenced by the most recent MOT on January 19 2026 at 53,748 miles which passed with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend is currently improving following a period of minor consumable wear identified in previous years. The transition from advisory alerts to a clean test sheet suggests that the owner has recently addressed the mechanical and tyre issues flagged during earlier testing cycles. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year over its eight-year life. There is a notable jump in mileage recorded between January 2022 at 49,141 miles and January 2023 at 37,676 miles, which indicates a data entry error or a clerical discrepancy in the record, though since 2023 the vehicle has covered roughly 6,000 miles annually. This steady usage rate suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of stagnation which often causes seal failure or corrosion. A buyer should specifically inspect the braking system and tyres in person. The January 2024 test at 44,364 miles flagged thin front brake pads, and the January 2025 test at 50,951 miles noted both front tyres worn to the legal limit with uneven wear. While the 2026 test was clean, a physical inspection should verify that the front pads have been replaced and that the wheel alignment is correct to prevent the recurring edge wear seen in the previous advisories.
