2018 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Diesel · MC18 CON

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 21 October 2025 at 84,277 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the previous two years, suggesting the car is currently maintained to a high mechanical standard. The mileage is typical for a 2018 model, averaging roughly 10,535 miles per year. The distance covered between the March 2024 test at 73,551 miles and the October 2025 test at 84,277 miles shows a steady usage pattern without any erratic gaps or sudden spikes in mileage. The record shows two instances where the vehicle failed and passed on the same day in March and October 2024, though the lack of recorded defects suggests these were likely administrative errors or minor issues resolved instantly. Because the MOT history is devoid of advisories, there are no specific recurring mechanical failures to flag. The absence of mentions regarding suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions indicates a well-kept example. However, the mileage now exceeds 80,000 miles, which is a common threshold for major service items. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on long-term wear items that MOT testers often overlook if they are not yet critical. Check the condition of the brake pads and tyres for uneven wear. Verify the service history for evidence of gearbox oil changes and spark plug replacements, as these are essential for the longevity of the drivetrain at this mileage.
