2018 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.3L Petrol · MJ68 AAX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed the 2025‑10‑18 MOT at 23,430 miles with only a rear brake disc noted as worn but not excessive, a finding that reflects a stable maintenance record rather than a worsening condition. The mileage trajectory shows a modest annual average of roughly 2,900 miles, well below the typical wear rate for an eight‑year‑old Mercedes‑Benz A‑Class, and the intervals between tests have been regular, progressing from 13,924 miles in 2021 to 23,430 miles in 2025 without any prolonged gaps that would suggest neglect. A buyer should therefore inspect the rear brake assembly for binding calipers or uneven pad wear, examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for corrosion or play that may be concealed by the undertrays fitted in the 2023 test, verify the condition of the front tyre beyond the recorded perishing, and check the front brake discs for lipping and overall thickness, while also looking for any hidden structural rust or exhaust‑system corrosion that could develop during periods of low use.
