2021 Mercedes-Benz A 2.0L Petrol · LG21 UPH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following its most recent MOT test on 23 April 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable but indicates a recent lapse in monitoring basic consumable items. Just four miles prior to the pass at 53,253 miles, the car failed due to a nearside front inner tyre with exposed cords and an offside front tyre below the legal tread depth. These issues were clearly addressed immediately to allow a clean pass with no recorded defects. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,650 miles per annum. Between the February 2024 test at 32,856 miles and the April 2025 test at 42,902 miles, the car covered roughly 10,000 miles in just fourteen months. This steady progression suggests regular road use rather than long periods of stagnation, which generally benefits the mechanical seals and battery health. A buyer should focus their inspection on the front suspension and alignment geometry, as the recurring reports of tyre damage in 2024 and the critical tyre failure in 2026 suggest potential uneven wear or worn suspension bushes. While the MOT record shows no structural corrosion or brake failures, the repeated tyre-related faults warrant a physical check of the tracking settings to ensure the vehicle is properly calibrated. Verify the current age and brand of the tyres to ensure the replacements made after the April 2026 failure were of adequate quality.
