2022 Mercedes-Benz A 180 AMG Line ED Executive A 1.3L Petrol · JB05 BUD

The vehicle presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 23 April 2025 at 21,594 miles, where the tester recorded a pass with no defects. The maintenance trend is stable and clean, with no outstanding advisories or recurring mechanical faults across the available history. This reflects a short but unbroken record of compliance with statutory roadworthiness standards. The recorded mileage of 21,594 at the April 2025 test equates to roughly 5,398 miles per year since first registration in 2022, which is low for a four-year-old hatchback. The DVSA entries show only two tests one day apart in April 2025, both at identical mileage, with a fail on 22 April followed by a pass on 23 April. No defects were listed against either result, so the fail offers no mechanical signal; it may reflect an administrative or non-item fault cleared within 24 hours. The sparse record gives limited visibility of wear patterns, though low mileage suggests lighter use and possible standing periods. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, brake discs, and underbody corrosion given the car's age and the unknown cause of the 22 April fail. Verify the front tyre tread and sidewall condition, as low-mileage cars left standing can suffer flat-spotting or perishing that a pass test may not flag. Confirm the exhaust emissions and structural integrity visually, since the single clean pass provides no longitudinal baseline for component degradation. Given the identical mileage on both April 2025 entries, question the prior owner on the reason for the initial failure and confirm the vehicle was not idle for extended periods before sale. The clean advisory sheet is reassuring, but the thin history means in-person checks on drivetrain seals and binding calipers remain prudent before purchase.
