Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the most rec
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the wheels and tyres. Given the December 2024 record of three fractured wheels and uneven inner-edge wear, you should check for any remaining alignment issues or poor-quality alloy repairs. You should also request specific documentation regarding the repair of the Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) warning lamp to ensure the fault was properly fixed rather than simply reset.
With the odometer approaching 140,000 miles, verify the service history for evidence of major component replacements. Specifically, look for records of diesel particulate filter (DPF) cleaning or replacement and evidence of oil changes that align with Mercedes-Benz intervals to mitigate the risks associated with high-mileage diesel engines.
The 1.46L diesel engine is generally economical for motorway cruising, but maintenance costs will be higher due to the vehicle's age and mileage. Expect regular expenditures on consumables, particularly tyres and brakes, as evidenced by the previous failures for worn discs and pads.
Annual costs will include diesel fuel, road tax based on the 2013 emissions bracket, and insurance. Given the mileage, you should budget for more frequent suspension and bushing replacements to maintain handling quality.
Carefully inspect all four alloy wheels for signs of cracking, welding, or bubbling paint, as the MOT history explicitly lists three fractured wheels in December 2024. Check the tread depth and wear patterns on the inner edges of the front and rear tyres to ensure the alignment issues noted in 2024 have been fully corrected.
Ensure the dashboard is clear of all warning lights, specifically the SRS lamp. Additionally, check the condition of the brake discs and pads; while the 2024 failure for pads under 1.5mm was addressed, the 2024 pass still noted that rear discs were well worn, so verify their current state.
This 2013 white Mercedes-Benz A-Class diesel has covered 139,673 miles, which is above the model average. The MOT history is marked by a series of tyre issues, including a major failure in December 2024 that required the replacement of three fractured wheels and the resolution of an SRS warning lamp fault. The most recent test in February 2026 was passed with no defects recorded.
The A-Class has an average MOT pass rate of 82.2%, with tyre-related issues being one of the top three reasons for failure across the model range.
