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

This vehicle presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 14 February 2026 at 52,625 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean tests over the last several years, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that meets DVSA requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is typical for an eight year old car, averaging roughly 6,578 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady, as seen between the February 2023 test at 39,411 miles and the February 2026 test at 52,625 miles. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or long periods of stagnation that would suggest neglect or unusual usage patterns. A single failure occurred on 10 February 2024 at 43,334 miles, though the vehicle passed seven days later at 43,400 miles. The record does not specify the nature of that failure, but the rapid resolution suggests a minor fix rather than a deep-seated mechanical issue. The absence of any advisories regarding brake discs, suspension bushes, or corrosion across multiple years is uncommon for a vehicle of this age and suggests a high level of preventative care. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on consumables that the MOT does not always flag as critical until they reach a limit. Check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake pads. While the MOT history is exceptionally clean, verifying the service history for oil changes and filter replacements will confirm if the mechanical upkeep matches the clean testing record.
