2013 Mercedes-Benz A180 Blueefficiency Sport CDI 1.5L Diesel · SL63 NHN

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clear improving maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted in October 2025 at 106,125 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that previous mechanical issues identified in earlier years have been addressed. This follows another clean result in May 2025, suggesting that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard over the last eighteen months. The mileage pattern remains consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 8,100 miles per year over thirteen years. There is a notable period of increased usage between December 2023 (81,912 miles) and May 2025 (99,786 miles), where the car covered nearly 18,000 miles in just seventeen months. However, the rate has slowed since, with roughly 6,300 miles recorded between the two most recent tests. This consistency helps mitigate accelerated wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. A physical inspection should focus on the rear braking system, as the December 2022 test at 63,903 miles flagged thin rear brake pads on both the nearside and offside.. these were likely replaced, the buyer should verify the current pad thickness and check for signs of uneven wear or disc pitting. Additionally, the 2022 advisory regarding perishing and cracking tyres suggests that rubber components are a factor for this vehicle; the current tyres should be inspected closely for sidewall cracking or age regardless of remaining tread depth. The 2023 test noted that a child seat prevented a full inspection of the rear adult seat belt. While this did not cause a failure, a buyer should manually check the belt mechanism and tension fraying. Given the lack of structural corrosion or exhaust emission failures in the history, the vehicle appears to be a well-looked-after example of the model, provided the current condition matches the clean MOT data.
