2020 Mercedes-Benz A 1.3L Petrol · ST69 UAU

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from perfect records to reactive component replacement. The most recent test on 24 July 2025 at 46,540 miles identified thin rear brake pads and pitted, scored rear discs. While the vehicle passed, these advisories indicate the braking system is now reaching the end of its service life, moving away from the clean record seen in 2024. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use urban vehicle, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 18,930 miles in December 2022 to 25,882 miles in July 2023, followed by a 9,114-mile interval leading to July 2024. This regular usage suggests the car has not sat stationary for long periods, which generally benefits the condition of rubber components and seals despite the relatively low annual mileage. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the braking assembly to ensure the pitting on the discs has not progressed structurally. The 2022 failure regarding a nearside front tyre worn to the legal limit, combined with the 2025 brake wear, suggests the previous owner may only address consumable items when they necessitate a pass. Verify the headlamp alignment remains correct as the vehicle previously failed for this in 2023, and check the suspension bushings for uneven wear that mirrors the previous tyre edge issue.
