2020 Mercedes-Benz A 1.3L Petrol · LS20 OWA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a slight decline in maintenance standards compared to previous years. While the car passed its March 2026 test at 63,720 miles, the tester identified two defects: an inoperative nearside rear number plate and a nearside front tyre worn to the legal limit. These issues represent minor consumable failures that follow a clean record from 2023 to 2025 where the vehicle passed without any recorded defects. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a modern German hatchback, averaging approximately 10,600 miles per annum. Between the April 2023 test at 29,664 miles and the April 2025 test at 48,008 miles, the vehicle covered 18,344 miles, showing steady use. The subsequent interval of 15,712 miles covered between April 2025 and the March 2026 test suggests regular driving, which generally helps prevent the corrosion andrelated issues associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and alignment to determine if the edge wear on the nearside front tyre resulted from poor tracking or worn wish arm bushes. Given the lack of advisories in the previous three years, the structural integrity and braking components appear well-maintained, however, the recent appearance of a light failure and tyre wear suggests the owner may only be addressing issues when prompted by testing. A physical check of the remaining tyre tread and the functionality of all external lighting clusters is required prior to purchase.
