Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and budget for imme
When inspecting this specific vehicle, pay close attention to the tyres and wheels. The 2024 MOT flagged both nearside rear and offside front tyres as being near or at the legal limit, and the 2022 record noted a distorted offside rear inner road wheel. You should check for uneven tyre wear, which could indicate alignment issues or suspension wear.
Ask the seller for evidence of recent tyre replacements and a wheel alignment check. Given the 2023 advisory regarding worn front brake discs, verify that the braking system has been serviced recently. Ensure you check the service history for any evidence of regular maintenance, as the MOT records alone do not confirm mechanical upkeep.
As a 2.0L petrol model, running costs will be higher than the smaller-engine variants of the A-Class. You should expect moderate fuel consumption typical of a 1991cc engine in a premium hatchback.
Insurance groups for this model vary depending on the specific trim, but the larger engine size often places it in a higher bracket. Maintenance costs will include regular tyre replacements, as evidenced by the MOT history, and standard servicing for a Mercedes-Benz. Estimated annual running costs are mid-range for this segment.
Specifically inspect the tyres and wheels. The MOT history for SA69ARR shows multiple advisories for tyres worn on the edges (2022 and 2024) and a distorted inner road wheel (2022). This warrants a physical check of the suspension components, including bushings and dampers, to ensure there is no underlying mechanical cause for uneven wear.
Additionally, check the condition of the front brake discs and pads. The 2023 MOT recorded the front brake discs as worn, so ensure these have been replaced or are in sufficient condition. Finally, confirm that all seatbelts are fully functional and unobstructed, as the 2024 test was limited by a child seat preventing a full inspection of the nearside rear adult belt.
This 2019 blue Mercedes-Benz A-Class (SA69ARR) has covered 54,242 miles since its first registration in October 2019. The MOT history shows a pattern of tyre-related advisories and one instance of a distorted wheel, suggesting a need for closer inspection of the suspension and wheel alignment. The mileage is higher than the model average of 8,248 miles per year.
The Mercedes-Benz A-Class shows an 89.3% average MOT pass rate across the 98,722 vehicles analysed in this dataset.
