2020 Mercedes-Benz A 250 AMG Line Premium E Auto 1.3L Hybrid electric (clean) · LR70 OPP

The Mercedes-Benz A 250 AMG Line Premium E Auto presents a clean MOT history over the past two years, with the most recent test on 7 November 2025 at 25,191 miles showing no defects. This consistency suggests the vehicle has been well maintained under test conditions, though the duplicate failed/passed entry on 8 November 2024 at 19,462 miles is an anomaly worth clarifying—likely a clerical error rather than a mechanical issue. The absence of advisories or defects in the three recorded tests indicates no recurring problems with brakes, suspension, or structural integrity, which is unusual for a vehicle of this age and specification. That said, the lack of recorded mileage between 14,992 miles (2023) and 19,462 miles (2024) —a gap of nearly 4,500 miles over 12 months —raises questions about whether the car was stored or driven minimally during that period. The vehicle’s 25,191 miles at six years old equates to roughly 4,200 miles per year , far below the UK average for a premium executive car. This low mileage could imply either infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, both of which may affect components like battery health, tyre condition, and fluid degradation. The identical mileage figure for the 2024 failed/passed tests further suggests the car may not have been driven extensively between tests, which could mask latent issues not caught under static inspection. Without additional service records, it’s impossible to confirm whether critical maintenance—such as brake fluid renewal, suspension checks, or exhaust emissions tuning—has been performed beyond MOT compliance. Given the sparse but clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise a pre-purchase inspection focusing on areas not fully assessed in a standard test. Pay particular attention to brake system health , including the condition of calipers, discs, and pads , as well as suspension components like coil springs, anti-roll bars, and bushings—especially given the car’s age and the potential for underuse-related stiffness. The exhaust system should be checked for corrosion or leaks, particularly if the vehicle has spent time in damp conditions. Additionally, verify fluid levels and condition (brake, coolant, differential) and inspect for structural corrosion in high-stress areas like wheel arches and sills, as low-mileage cars can still suffer from oxidation if not stored properly. Finally, confirm the battery’s charge and health , as a car driven infrequently may have a weakened battery despite no MOT faults.
