Our Verdict
A reasonable prospect for a diesel buyer
When viewing this vehicle, prioritise checking the service history to see how the 1.5L diesel engine has been maintained, particularly regarding timing belt intervals and oil changes. Because the 2025 and 2026 MOTs flagged rear brake disc and pad wear, you should verify if these components have been replaced recently or if they remain as advisories.
Negotiate based on the most recent MOT findings. The presence of a child seat during the 2025 and 2026 inspections meant the adult seat belt could not be fully inspected; ensure you test the functionality of all rear seat belts thoroughly before committing to the purchase. Also, confirm that the 'missing road wheel fixing' noted in 2023 was professionally rectified and not part of a wider issue with the wheel studs.
As a 1461cc diesel, this A-Class is designed for efficiency, likely sitting in a moderate insurance group and a relatively low tax band. Fuel economy should be competitive for motorway driving, though urban use may impact these figures.
Typical maintenance for this model includes regular servicing and periodic replacement of consumables like tyres and brakes, which have appeared in the MOT history. Expect annual running costs to be influenced by your annual mileage, but generally, the 1.5L engine is more economical to run than larger displacement alternatives.
Specifically inspect the rear braking system. The 2025 MOT noted worn rear discs, and the 2026 MOT flagged thin rear brake pads. Check for any pulsation when braking or unusual noises from the rear axle.
Additionally, check the integrity of all wheel fixings and bolts, given the 2023 failure for a missing nearside front road wheel fixing. Finally, ensure all seat belts, including the rear ones, are fully retractable and locking correctly, as the previous MOT inspections were limited by a child seat being fitted.
This 2018 red Mercedes-Benz A-Class has covered 65,642 miles since its first registration in April 2018. The MOT history shows five recorded tests, with the most recent passing in April 2026. While it has experienced minor issues like a missing wheel fixing and brake wear, it has maintained a relatively consistent testing pattern.
The Mercedes-Benz A-Class shows an average MOT pass rate of 82.2% across 261,154 analysed vehicles, with common failures typically relating to tyres, wipers, and headlamps.
