2022 Mercedes-Benz A 180 AMG Line ED Executive A 1.3L Petrol · PO22 UWL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent MOT history indicates a lapse in basic preventative maintenance. While the car passed its February 2026 test at 44,153 miles with no defects, it failed the initial inspection on the same day for critical safety failures. The malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system and front tyre tread depth below the legal limit suggest that the previous owner neglected essential consumable replacements until a retest was required. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a four-year-old premium vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. Between the February 2025 test at 32,559 miles and the February 2026 test at 44,153 miles, the car covered 11,594 miles. This steady usage suggests regular road use rather than long periods of stagnation, which is generally beneficial for the seals, mechanical components, and the overall operation of the braking system. A buyer should personally inspect the tyre pressure monitoring system to determine if the fault is a simple sensor failure or a deeper electronic issue. Given that both front tyres were found below the 1.6mm threshold, the remaining tyres should be checked for uneven wear which could indicate alignment issues or suspension bushing degradation. You should also verify the condition of the brake discs and pads, as the record shows a reactive approach to maintenance that implies service may be deferred rather than proactive.
