2018 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.6L Petrol · KM18 AEG

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its most recent 2026-03-24 MOT at 51,775 miles. Previous tests from 2025-03-24 (43,272 miles), 2024-03-28 (36,070 miles), and 2023-03-13 (30,369 miles) also passed without issues, though a failed test on 2024-03-28 at 36,065 miles is noted. The absence of recorded defects in subsequent tests suggests any prior concerns were resolved. The car’s maintenance history reflects consistent compliance with safety standards, with no recurring mechanical or structural faults indicated. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging 6,472 miles annually. The 2023-03-13 test at 30,369 miles shows a 6,203-mile increase by 2024-03-28, followed by a 7,202-mile rise to 43,272 miles by 2025-03-24, and a further 8,503-mile accumulation by 2026-03-24. These figures suggest regular operation without prolonged inactivity, though the 2024-03-28 failed test at 36,065 miles lacks explanatory details. The MOT record remains otherwise clean, indicating no significant wear or neglect. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Brake discs, calipers, and exhaust systems should also be inspected for corrosion or wear, as these are common areas of degradation. While no advisories or failures are documented, the 2024-03-28 failed test—despite no recorded defects—warrants scrutiny to confirm whether it stemmed from procedural error or unreported issues. Overall, the car’s MOT history suggests responsible maintenance, but physical inspection remains critical for confirming structural integrity and component health.
