2013 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.8L Diesel · LK63 GAA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in September 2025 at 58,834 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the owner immediately addressed a failure recorded just one day prior regarding a nearside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover. While the history shows a pattern of minor mechanical failures involving consumables and suspension components, the vehicle has consistently returned to a passing standard after the necessary repairs were made. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 58,834 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 4,500 miles. This low usage profile is consistent with the intervals between tests, such as the 2,569 miles driven between September 2023 and 2024. However, low mileage often correlates with age-related degradation of rubber components, which is evidenced by the 2024 advisory for a perishing nearside rear tyre and the previously noted deteriorated drive shaft CV boot. A buyer should inspect the front braking system specifically, as the August 2024 test flagged pitted and scored brake discs. Despite the low mileage, brake surfaces can suffer from corrosion during long periods of inactivity. The buyer should also verify the condition of the suspension bushes and bushes, given the history of failures related to the anti-roll bar linkage and drive shaft boots. Checking for sidewall cracking on all tyres is also essential, as the record indicates the vehicle is prone to rubber drying out despite the low tread wear.
