2008 Mercedes A180CDI Avantgarde SE CVT 2.0L Heavy oil · NFZ 9554

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT test on 29 March 2026 at 93,022 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent five year trend of clean passes without a single recorded advisory or failure, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance. The mileage is notably low for an 18 year old car, averaging roughly 5,168 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady over the last few years, moving from 66,181 miles in April 2022 to 93,022 miles by March 2026. This indicates regular, moderate use rather than long periods of stagnation, which typically reduces the risk of seized calipers or perished rubber seals. Despite the clean MOT history, the age of the vehicle necessitates a physical check of components that the MOT tester may not flag unless they have completely failed. A buyer should inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for age-related cracking. The CVT transmission should be checked for smooth shifting, as these units require specific fluid intervals that are not tracked via MOT records. The absence of any recorded corrosion or structural issues over the last five tests is a positive indicator for the chassis. However, given the low annual mileage, it is worth verifying the age of the tyres to ensure the rubber has not hardened over time. The lack of any recurring faults suggests a well-cared-for example, provided the service history aligns with the clean testing record.
