2018 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 2.0L Petrol · WA68 VDL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 13 October 2025 at 52,505 miles with no recorded defects. This represents an improving trend in maintenance standards following several years of recurring consumable failures. While earlier tests highlighted patterns of reactive maintenance, the lack of advisories in the latest inspection suggests the owner has addressed outstanding mechanical and tyre-related issues. At 52,505 miles over eight years, the car follows a consistent usage pattern of approximately 6,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-use profiles. The data shows steady progression between annual tests, with roughly 7,600 miles covered between September 2024 and October 2025, and approximately 5,700 miles between October 2023 and September 2024. This regular accumulation prevents excessive strain on the drivetrain components, though the low mileage makes rubber components more susceptible to degradation due to age. A buyer should prioritize the front suspension geometry and alignment settings during a physical inspection. The September 2024 test flagged a nearside front tyre worn on the inner edge, and the 2021 record noted similar wear on both front tyres. These recurring faults indicate potential misalignment or worn suspension bushes and bushings. Additionally, since the 2023 advisory noted all brake pads were worn thin at 34,862 miles, the buyer must verify the current pad thickness and check for disc scoring to ensure the subsequent replacement was performed correctly.
