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

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 17 October 2024 at 78,708 miles returned no defects or advisories, indicating that the car remains in a mechanically sound condition. This trend suggests a stable maintenance regime where the previous owners have proactively addressed potential issues before they reached the threshold of MOT failure. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between March 2021 at 37,500 miles and the 2024 test at 78,708 miles, the car covered over 41,000 miles, reflecting a steady usage pattern. The short interval between the March 2022 and November 2022 tests shows a burst of roughly 7,000 miles in eight months, which confirms the vehicle was used regularly rather than suffering from the degradation of seals and components often associated with long periods of inactivity. Because the MOT record shows no recurring advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake calipers, or exhaust corrosion, a physical inspection should focus on verifying the current state of consumable items. A buyer should check for signs of uneven tyre wear and inspect the thickness of the brake pads, as these are not detailed in the MOT test. Given the clean history, the structural integrity of the chassis appears robust, but a visual check of the underbody for minor fluid leaks remains standard practice for a vehicle of this age.
