2013 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.6L Petrol · PT02 AJT

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a history of consistent passes over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted in January 2026 at 76,519 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the owner has addressed any previous mechanical concerns. This follows a period of clean records between 2022 and 2024, suggesting a consistent approach to maintaining basic operational safety standards. The mileage pattern is notably low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,886 miles per year. The data shows steady usage rather than neglect, moving from 45,604 miles in February 2022 to 76,519 miles by January 2026. This low annual mileage typically implies less wear and tear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber-based seals if the car sits stationary for long periods between trips. The only recorded issue in the history occurred in January 2025 at 68,926 miles, where both the nearside and offside front tyres were flagged as worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This specific fault suggests a potential alignment issue or premature wear on front suspension bushes at that time. A buyer should inspect the current front tyres for uneven wear and check the suspension geometry to ensure the previous issue was properly rectified and not recurring. Given the vehicle's age despite the low mileage, a physical inspection should focus on structural integrity and corrosion, particularly in the chassis and wheel arches areas common to this era. While the MOT records do not show any rust failures, the buyer should verify the brake discs for pitting or corrosion and check fluid levels for leaks to ensure that the low-usage pattern has not resulted in moisture contamination or seal failure.
