2018 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.6L Petrol · HT67 AAF

The September 2025 MOT at 51,463 miles passed with only a TPMS warning, confirming that the vehicle is presently roadworthy and that the maintenance record remains stable, as no defects were recorded in the preceding September 2024 test. Mileage has risen from 35,403 miles in January 2021 to 51,463 miles in September 2025, a gain of roughly 16,000 miles over 4½ years, or about 3,600 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for an eight‑year‑old Mercedes‑A‑Class; the only notable jump occurred between the January and September 2021 tests, when the odometer increased by 5,000 miles in eight months. Recurring tyre defects – a near‑side front tyre worn close to the legal limit in September 2023 and a cut on the near‑side rear tyre in January 2021 – suggest that suspension components such as bushes and coil springs may be worn, and that the braking system could exhibit binding calipers or uneven disc wear, warranting close inspection of the front suspension geometry and rear brake assembly. A buyer should therefore examine the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers, verify the integrity of the brake discs and pads for any binding or scoring, check the structural chassis for rust around the wheel arches and sills, confirm the functionality of the TPMS sensors, and assess the overall state of the exhaust system and mounting points.
