2020 Mercedes-Benz A 180 SE D 1.5L Diesel · LR70 JVT

A recurring pattern of front tyre wear defines the mechanical history of this vehicle, despite a generally stable record of roadworthiness. The most recent pass on 2025-12-23 highlighted both the nearside and offside front tyres as being worn close to the legal limit or on the edges, a trend that mirrors advisories for inner edge wear recorded in August 2023. The recorded mileage of 54,003 miles over approximately six years indicates an average annual accumulation of roughly 9,000 miles. This represents a typical usage profile for a vehicle of this age, suggesting that the mechanical components have not been subjected to the extreme wear of high-mileage use nor the degradation associated with prolonged periods of inactivity. The repeated flags regarding front tyre wear necessitate a close examination of the vehicle's wheel alignment and suspension geometry. On a test drive, the buyer should feel for any steering pull or instability and check if the steering wheel remains centered when travelling straight. These symptoms, combined with the recorded inner edge wear, may point to issues with the suspension bushes or incorrect tracking that could lead to accelerated tyre replacement costs. Further inspection should focus on the AdBlue system and the vehicle's chassis. A previous advisory explicitly mentioned an AdBlue warning on the dashboard, so it is essential to confirm that the system is fully operational and free of faults. Additionally, the buyer should verify if the missing nearside rear jacking block noted in 2023 has been replaced to ensure the vehicle can be safely supported during future servicing.
