2021 Mercedes-Benz A 1.3L Petrol · LS21 ACU

The vehicle currently maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT test conducted on 25 March 2026 at 41,485 miles which passed with no recorded defects. This indicates that the car meets minimum regulatory standards. The maintenance trend appears improving, as the only noted wear item identified in the previous year has been addressed before the latest inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per annum. Between the March 2024 test at 14,950 miles and the March 2025 test at 28,812 miles, the car covered 13,862 miles, showing a slightly higher rate of use during that period. However, the subsequent interval of 12,673 miles leading to the 2026 test shows a return to typical usage levels. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system, as the March 2025 record flagged thin rear brake pads at 28,812 miles. While the latest test passed, a manual check should verify the remaining thickness of the pads and inspect for uneven wear or scoring on the discs. Given the relatively low mileage, the suspension components and rubber bushes should be in good condition, but checking for any dry rot or cracking is wise if the vehicle has sat for long periods between services.
