2018 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.3L Petrol · R17 HCP

The 2018 Mercedes-Benz A-Class presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 June 2025 at 65,651 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 5 July 2024 at 58,073 miles. The vehicle shows no advisories or mechanical faults across its available history, indicating consistent compliance with MOT standards over the past three years. Recorded mileage sits at 65,651 miles against an eight-year lifespan, averaging roughly 8,200 miles per year. This aligns with typical use for the model age. The gap between the June 2023 test at 47,385 miles and the July 2024 test at 58,073 miles reflects about 10,700 miles of annual use, a modest rise above average but unremarkable. The DVSA data is sparse, with only five entries and no defects logged, so the record gives limited insight into consumable wear or hidden corrosion. The buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean MOT trail. Two failed tests on 21 June 2023 and 4 July 2024 at 47,385 and 58,073 miles respectively recorded no defects, suggesting administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical failure. Such entries warrant verification of the vehicle's test documentation and identity. Suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, and underbody structural integrity should be checked for corrosion or fatigue not captured by the pass results. Tyres and wiper blades require visual assessment as consumables absent from the advisories. The history implies basic statutory upkeep was met, though it reveals little about owner care beyond minimum compliance.
