2021 Mercedes-Benz A 1.3L Petrol · PH63 PAT

The vehicle presents a stable and reassuring mechanical profile, culminating in a clean pass on 23 October 2025 at 49,277 miles with zero defects recorded. That most recent test demonstrates that all previously flagged minor issues were promptly rectified, and no new advisories or failures have emerged since. The maintenance trend is firmly stable, with no recurring faults suggesting neglect or unresolved deterioration. Mileage accumulation is consistent and unremarkable for a 2021 vehicle. Between the March 2024 test at 32,469 miles and the October 2024 test at 38,824 miles, the car covered approximately 6,355 miles in seven months. The subsequent interval from October 2024 to October 2025 shows no further recorded mileage increase, which may indicate the vehicle has been standing or used very lightly since its last test. Annualised at roughly 9,855 miles per year overall, this is typical for its age and does not raise concerns about excessive wear on drivetrain components, suspension, or braking systems. The sole defect across the entire history was a defective offside front windscreen wiper blade, flagged in October 2024. This is a minor consumable item, not indicative of mechanical neglect. Crucially, it was absent from the subsequent 2025 test, confirming it was replaced in a timely manner. No structural corrosion, suspension faults, brake defects, or exhaust emissions failures have ever appeared on record. A prospective buyer should still conduct a physical inspection focused on components not fully exercised during static MOT preparation. Check the condition of all tyre sidewalls and tread depths, inspect the underside for any fresh corrosion on subframes or suspension mounting points, and test brake feel under moderate pressure for any signs of binding or uneven wear. Verify that the nearside wiper blade, which was never flagged, is also in serviceable condition, as asymmetric wear can develop without triggering a test failure.
