2011 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.6L Petrol · LB11 YMC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 14 July 2026 at 25,913 miles. The maintenance trend is stable but reveals a pattern of neglect regarding minor advisories. The latest test flagged a worn, pitted, or scored rear brake disc and a cut in the nearside rear tyre, both of which are recurring issues. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2011 model, averaging roughly 1,728 miles per year. The odometer shows a consistent, slow climb from 9,263 miles in July 2014 to 25,913 miles in July 2026. Such low usage often indicates a vehicle that has spent significant time stationary, which typically increases the risk of perished rubber components and brake oxidation. A buyer must scrutinize the braking system and tyres. The tester flagged pitted and scored rear brake discs in July 2019, July 2020, and again in July 2026. This six year gap suggests the discs have not been replaced despite repeated warnings, likely due to corrosion from low mileage rather than wear. The nearside rear tyre has carried a cut advisory since July 2024, and a previous failure in July 2018 involved multiple tyres reaching the legal limit or suffering from sidewall perishing. The windscreen has been flagged as chipped in almost every test since 2016, indicating a lack of basic glass repair. While no structural corrosion or suspension failures are recorded, the persistent ignoring of advisories suggests a reactive rather than proactive approach to maintenance. A physical inspection should focus on the age and condition of all rubber bushings and the actual surface condition of the brake discs.
