2021 Mercedes-Benz A 250 AMG Line Edition E Auto 1.3L Hybrid electric · ST71 ACJ

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 10 December 2025 with no defects recorded. This follows a previous pass in October 2024 which noted minor cuts to the rear tyre sidewalls. The absence of any advisories in the latest test indicates a stable maintenance trend and suggests that the previous tyre concerns were rectified, reflecting a vehicle that is being kept in a roadworthy condition. With a recorded mileage of 52,087 miles over approximately five years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 10,417 miles per year. This represents typical UK usage for this class of vehicle. This level of mileage means the drivetrain and chassis have not been subjected to extreme wear, but it is the point where standard consumables and wear-and-tear components begin to require closer scrutiny to ensure continued reliability. Given the clean MOT history, the buyer should focus on physical inspections related to the vehicle age and the specific demands of the AMG Line specification. The lower profile tyres typical of this trim are more susceptible to sidewall damage and perishing; inspect the tyre walls for fine cracking or bulging, even if the tread depth is sufficient. During a test drive, listen for any knocks or clunks from the suspension bushes and coil springs, as the firmer AMG setup can accelerate wear on these components over 50,000 miles. Attention should also be paid to calendar-based maintenance and electrical health. A five-year-old vehicle is often approaching the end of its original 12V battery life, so verify the starting performance and check for any electronic glitches. Ensure the service book confirms timely oil changes and brake fluid flushes, as fluid degradation occurs regardless of mileage. Finally, inspect the brake discs for any uneven wear or lip formation, and ensure the calipers are not binding, which can occur if the vehicle has had periods of infrequent use.
