2021 Mercedes-Benz A 2.0L Petrol · OX21 CAL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on March 13, 2026. The maintenance trend appears generally stable despite a significant mechanical failure just one day prior to that test. While the car failed due to a fractured nearside front inner road wheel, the fact that this was rectified immediately to secure a pass on the following day suggests the owner is willing to address safety-critical defects once they are identified. At 41,704 miles over five years, the car has averaged approximately 8,340 miles per annum. This figure aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a modern premium hatchback. The mileage data shows consistent intervals, with roughly 9,250 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 10,000 miles recorded in the year leading up to the recent failure. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of neglect or sudden high-mileage bursts. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry and wheel alignment. The March 2025 test at 31,711 miles flagged both front tyres as being worn on the inner edges, which often indicates a tracking issue or worn suspension bushings. Given that a wheel rim also fractured at 41,704 miles, there is a risk the vehicle has experienced a significant impact. A physical inspection should confirm that there is no lasting damage to the steering rack, control arms, or hub assembly resulting from the fractured wheel or the uneven tyre wear.
