2022 Mercedes-Benz A 180 AMG Line ED Executive A 1.3L Petrol · LS22 NNJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the recent MOT history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. While it passed the test in May 2026 at 40,231 miles, this followed a failure just one month prior at 40,230 miles due to a nearside front tyre being below the legal 1.6mm limit. This suggests the owner only addressed essential faults when forced by an inspection failure rather than performing routine preventative checks. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles annually. Between the March 2025 test at 31,157 miles and the April 2026 failure, the car covered over 9,000 miles in thirteen months. This steady rate of use reflects standard wear patterns, yet the transition from a clean record in 2025 to multiple tyre-related defects in 2026 highlights a lapse in attention to consumable items during the last year of ownership. A buyer must inspect the suspension and alignment settings, as the May 2026 advisories noted uneven wear on the edges of both rear tyres and the offside front tyre. This specific pattern often points to incorrect wheel geometry or worn suspension bushes rather than simple-related depletion. The buyer should also verify that the wiper blades have been replaced as they were flagged as defective in the latest test, and check brake pads for uneven wear to ensure no binding calipers are contributing to the tyre issues.
