2021 Mercedes-Benz A 1.3L Petrol · LL71 AVN

The vehicle presents a positive roadworthiness profile with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 22 October 2025 at 16,155 miles resulted in a clean pass with no recorded defects. This follows a failure just five days prior on 17 October 2025 at 16,154 miles, though the artwork indicates no specific defects, suggesting a minor presentation issue such as a blown bulb or a sensor that was rectified immediately before the retest. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,231 miles per year. Between the October 2024 test at 12,740 miles and the October 2025 test at 16,155 miles, the car covered 3,415 miles. This consistent low-mileage suggests short-distance commuting, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components but can occasionally lead to flat-spotting or brake corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. Because the MOT history shows no Advisories regarding structural integrity, suspension bushes, or brake components, a physical inspection should focus on the effects of low usage. A buyer should check for surface rust on the brake discs and ensure the calipers are not binding due to infrequent use. Checking the tyres for age-related cracking is also necessary, as rubber can degrade faster than the tread wears down with only 16,000 miles on the car.
