Our Verdict
This is a strong candidate for a used Mercedes-Benz A-Class, particularly due to its relatively low mileage for its age. Proceed with confidence, but ensure a physical inspection confirms the mechanical state matches the clean recent MOT record.
When viewing this 1.5L petrol model, check the service history to see if it has been maintained according to Mercedes-Benz schedules, as the MOT history only confirms roadworthiness, not mechanical upkeep. Given the low mileage, inspect the condition of rubber components like hoses and belts, which can perish even if not heavily used.
Negotiate based on the service intervals and any evidence of recent maintenance. While the MOT history is clean, always ask for proof of oil changes and brake inspections. Since the 2025 failure occurred just before a pass, verify that the issue causing that failure was fully rectified.
The 1498cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group and tax band for a vehicle of this era. Fuel economy should be reasonable for a premium hatchback, though real-world figures will depend on driving style.
Maintenance costs for Mercedes-Benz vehicles can be higher than for budget brands, particularly for specialist parts. Expect typical maintenance costs to include regular oil changes and periodic brake replacements. Estimated annual running costs are approximately £1,100-£1,400, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing.
Focus your inspection on the tyres, headlamps, and brake discs, as these are the most common failure points for this model across the wider dataset of 262,402 vehicles. Even though this specific car passed its 2025 MOT with no defects, these components are high-wear items.
Check the tyre tread depth and look for uneven wear, which could indicate suspension issues. Inspect the headlamp clarity for any clouding or moisture ingress, and check the brake pads and discs for thickness and scoring. Given the 2025 failure at 74,057 miles, ask the seller specifically what the failure was for to ensure it was a minor compliance issue rather than a mechanical fault.
This 2008 blue Mercedes-Benz A-Class (PN58TVX) has covered 74,068 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average of 7,361 miles per year. The MOT history shows a consistent pass record since 2022, with only one failure recorded in May 2025 at 74,057 miles. The most recent test in June 2025 passed with no defects recorded.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 82.1% MOT pass rate, suggesting a generally reliable fleet, though tyres, headlamps, and brake discs are frequent points of failure.
