2020 Mercedes-Benz A 1.3L Petrol · LS70 KFO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy and demonstrates a stable maintenance trend following a minor mechanical adjustment. The most recent test on 21 March 2026 at 26,886 miles resulted in a failure for the nearside headlamp aim being too high, which was rectified immediately to secure a pass with no defects. This follows two clean records in 2025 and 2024, indicating that the primary mechanical components are currently sound. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,481 miles per year. Data shows a consistent but low-usage pattern, moving from 16,558 miles in October 2023 to 26,886 miles in March 2026. While this low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension, the long intervals between tests can increase the risk of rubber-based degradation if the car sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should pay close attention to the tyres, as the history reveals a recurring issue with material failure. In the September 2023 test at 16,558 miles, the vehicle failed due to structural damage and exposed cords on all four tyres, alongside perishing on the rear pair. Although these were replaced before the October pass, the low annual mileage suggests the tyres may be suffering from dry rot or cracking rather than tread wear. A physical inspection of the tyre sidewalls for hairline cracks is essential to ensure the current set is not aged prematurely despite the low mileage.
