2020 Mercedes-Benz A 1.3L Petrol · LS70 BKF

The vehicle currently presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend following a previous setback. The most recent inspection in July 2025 at 18,039 miles passed with absolutely no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that the mechanical issues identified in the prior year were addressed effectively, and the vehicle currently meets all statutory requirements for safety and environmental emissions. The mileage profile is low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per annum. Between the September 2023 test at 10,238 miles and the September 2024 test at 13,784 miles, the car covered only 3,546 miles. While this low usage suggests less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, long periods of standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components or brake corrosion, though no such issues appear in the official record. The failure in September 2024 at 13,784 miles highlights a specific period of neglect regarding tyre maintenance, involving a deep cut in the nearside front tyre and multiple nails across three other tyres. Given that the vehicle passed its subsequent re-test later that month and the following 2025 test without issue, the owner clearly replaced the affected rubber. A buyer should inspect the current tyre tread depth and age to ensure they have not perished and check the brake discs for surface pitting, which is common on low-mileage vehicles that sit stationary.
