2013 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.6L Petrol · KO13 WHT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive service approach. The most recent test in September 2025 at 107,365 miles revealed two minor defects involving a faulty nearside side repeater and an insecure offside front brake disc back plate. While these are not structural failures, the previous failure in 2023 regarding thin rear brake pads suggests that components are only addressed once they reach a critical threshold. At 107,365 miles, the A-Class has averaged approximately 8,259 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a thirteen-year-old vehicle. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 15,300 miles driven between November 2022 and October 2023, and another 9,300 miles between September 2024 and September 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the car has been used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for maintaining rubber seals and mechanical components. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the offside front assembly to ensure the insecure back plate noted in 2025 has been properly secured and is not rubbing against the rotor or caliper. The 2023 failure for an offside rear tyre worn on the edge indicates a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes, which should be verified across all current tyres for uneven wear. Given the age and mileage, a thorough check of the chassis for corrosion is essential, as the MOT record does not explicitly detail structural integrity beyond the pass status.
