2020 Mercedes-Benz A 200 Exclusive Edition D Auto 1.9L Diesel · SO70 MGY

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 9 July 2026 at 62,279 miles resulted in a pass, though with minor defects. The front windscreen wiper blade was noted as defective, and both rear brake discs were recorded as worn, pitted, or scored but not seriously weakened. These issues suggest a stable maintenance trend, as prior tests in July 2025 and July 2024 also passed without advisories. The 2023 test, however, flagged front brake disc wear and thinning brake pads, indicating some recurring attention to the braking system. While the latest pass confirms basic roadworthiness, the persistent brake disc wear and wiper blade issue point to components nearing or requiring replacement. Mileage progression aligns closely with typical usage for a six-year-old vehicle. The car accumulated 5,399 miles between the July 2024 test (50,596 miles) and the July 2025 test (55,995 miles), followed by an additional 6,284 miles to reach 62,279 in the latest test. This averages roughly 10,380 miles annually, consistent with the provided context. No significant gaps in testing or abrupt mileage jumps are evident, suggesting steady, regular use rather than prolonged storage or erratic driving patterns. Prospective buyers should inspect the braking system thoroughly, particularly the rear discs and pads, given their documented wear across multiple tests. The recurring disc wear may indicate pad material issues or caliper binding, warranting a close check for uneven pad wear or seized slides. The defective wiper blade from the latest test should also be verified for functionality. Additionally, given the vehicle’s age and mileage, attention to suspension bushes, coil springs, and exhaust emissions compliance would be prudent. Any signs of corrosion, especially around wheel arches or the underbody, should be investigated, as prolonged exposure to moisture could accelerate component degradation despite the recent clean tests.
