2014 Mercedes-Benz A180 Blueefficiency Sport CDI 1.5L Heavy oil · LM14 AAJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 4 June 2025 at 99,562 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a curious failure just one month prior on 27 May 2025 at 99,300 miles. Because the failure record lists no specific defects, this likely represents an administrative error or a minor non-compliance rectification rather than a mechanical decline. Since 2021, the vehicle has maintained a consistent record of passes without recurring advisories. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a twelve-year-old diesel, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between December 2021 at 66,843 miles and February 2023 at 79,647 miles, where the car covered roughly 13,000 miles over 14 months. More recent usage shows a steady climb, with 17,460 miles recorded between May 2024 and June 2025. This regularity suggests the car is used consistently, which is beneficial for the diesel particulate filter and prevents carbon buildup common in long periods of standing. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the digital history, a physical inspection should focus on standard wear items for a vehicle of this age. A buyer should examine the suspension bushes and control arms for perished rubber, as these are common points of failure on the MercedesBenz chassis. The braking system should also be checked for binding calipers or thinning discs, as the MOT record does not highlight previous brake issues. Finally, checking the structural integrity of the underside is vital to ensure that no hidden corrosion has developed since the last inspection.
