2020 Mercedes-Benz A 1.3L Petrol · LR20 RUJ

The 2026‑02‑12 MOT at 64,646 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming that the vehicle is presently roadworthy. The preceding 2025‑02‑27 test at 51,747 miles had flagged a near‑side front tyre bulge, cracked sidewalls on all rear tyres, worn and pitted brake discs, and thin rear brake pads, resulting in a failure. The subsequent repair appears to have corrected those issues, as the latest test shows a clean record, indicating an improving then stable maintenance trend. The mileage profile shows steady use: the car accumulated from 27,909 miles in March 2023 to 64,646 miles by February 2026, averaging roughly 10,800 miles per year, which matches the typical annual mileage for a six‑year‑old 2020 model. The intervals between tests are about one year, with mileage jumps of 10,977 miles (2023‑2024), 12,861 miles (2024‑2025) and 12,899 miles (2025‑2026), confirming no anomalous gaps. A buyer should therefore inspect the tyre condition closely for any bulges, cracks or perishing, verify brake disc integrity for pitting or scoring and measure pad thickness, and examine the suspension bushes, coil springs and brake calipers for binding or wear. Any evidence of structural rust or previous repair work, especially around the wheel arches where the tyre bulge was noted, should also be assessed before purchase.
