2020 Mercedes-Benz A 180 SE D 1.5L Diesel · KR02 AMC

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-11-27 at 45,849 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, the prior test on 2024-12-03 shows conflicting outcomes—both a pass and a fail recorded on the same date and mileage (61,610 miles), which suggests a potential data inconsistency. No defects were noted in any tests, but the abrupt jump in mileage from 37,255 miles (2024-09-19) to 61,610 miles (2024-12-03) raises questions about usage patterns. This 24,355-mile increase over three months exceeds typical annual averages, potentially indicating heavy use or inaccurate mileage recording. The vehicle’s mileage of 45,849 miles aligns with an average of 7,642 miles per year since 2020, which is standard for its age. However, the 2023-09-26 test at 24,320 miles and the 2024-09-19 test at 37,255 miles show gradual progression, with no recurring issues flagged. The lack of advisories or defects in all tests suggests the owner maintained the vehicle to meet legal standards, though the absence of detailed fault records limits insight into minor wear. The 2024-12-03 anomaly complicates this narrative, as the dual pass/fail outcome at the same mileage lacks clarity. A buyer should verify the MOT history with the DVSA to resolve the 2024-12-03 discrepancy and inspect for signs of accelerated wear. The sudden mileage spike may correlate with increased strain on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, or the drivetrain, even if no faults were recorded. Check for corrosion in underbody areas, uneven tyre wear, and brake system functionality, as these could reflect unrecorded issues. The vehicle’s clean MOT history up to 2025-11-27 suggests compliance with regulations, but the irregular data points warrant further scrutiny before purchase.
