Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle holds a current pass as of 23 January 2025 at 107,862 miles with no defects recorded, indicating nominal roadworthiness at that test. The maintenance trend across the supplied records appears stable in terms of logged condition, yet the two immediate prior failures on 30 December 2024 and 23 December 2024 at 107,677 and 107,541 miles respectively, both with no defects noted, break the pattern and warrant scrutiny. Such back-to-back rejects without itemised faults suggest administrative or presentation anomalies rather than a clear mechanical deterioration. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for a 2013 registered car. From the 18 November 2022 test at 100,430 miles to the 22 December 2023 pass at 104,166 miles the odometer advanced just 3,736 miles over thirteen months. The subsequent year to late December 2024 added only 3,375 miles, and a final 321 miles preceded the January 2025 pass. The provided extract omits the earlier nine years of testing, but within these entries the annual average sits near 8,300 miles, reflecting gentle touring rather than high-stress urban cycling. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on sills, subframes and suspension mounting points given the vehicle's age. Typical Mercedes A-Class wear at this mileage centres on suspension bushes, front coil springs and brake disc lipping, none of which appear in the advisory columns but degrade silently. The unexplained December 2024 failures demand a check of the full DVSA timeline and a road test to confirm no binding calipers or exhaust emissions irregularities were overlooked by the summarised record.

MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.

The most recent test on 23 January 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (6 issues), Brakes (2 issues), Lighting (2 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
