2020 Mercedes-Benz A 1.3L Petrol · HO07 LLS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in consumable upkeep. While the most recent test on 26 May 2026 at 45,868 miles passed, it flagged a nearside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit with uneven edge wear. This follows a pattern established in May 2025 at 40,445 miles, where both front tyres were noted for similar issues. The mileage progression is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. The record shows steady accumulation of use, with roughly 8,000 miles covered between June 2023 and May 2024, and another 6,000 miles between May 2025 and 2026. The clean reports from 2023 and 2024 indicate the vehicle was in good mechanical condition during that period, though the recent tyre failures suggest the owner is deferring routine maintenance until the MOT test intervals. A buyer must inspect the vehicle for alignment issues. The recurring uneven edge wear on multiple tyres across different axles strongly suggests incorrect camber geometry, worn suspension bushes, or failing steering components. These mechanical issues will lead to premature tyre degradation if not addressed. A physical inspection of the brake discs and pads is also advised to ensure that the lack of proactive tyre attention has not caused uneven wear or seizing of the calipers.
