2014 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.6L Petrol · LW64 FGF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on January 31, 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the most recent entry indicates a specific concern regarding the braking system. The tester flagged both rear brake discs as worn, pitted, or scored. While this did not meet the threshold for a failure, it suggests the components are reaching the end of their effective service life. At 51,054 miles, this twelve-year-old Mercedes has covered a significantly low distance, averaging approximately 4,254 miles per year. This low usage suggests the vehicle has been used sparingly or stored for extended periods, which can often lead to age-related rubber degradation and corrosion rather than mechanical wear. The data provided is sparse, but the lack of high mileage accumulation indicates the drivetrain has not been subjected to the stress of long-distance travel. A buyer should focus specifically on the braking assembly during a physical inspection. Given the recorded pitting on the rear discs, it is essential to check the rear calipers for seized pistons, which often occurs alongside surface pitting on stationary vehicles. The low mileage also warrants a close look at the suspension bushes, coil springs, and rubber brake lines to ensure they have not perished from sitting rather than wearing out from use. Verify the condition of the tyres for cracking, as low-mileage cars often suffer from dry rot despite having ample tread.
