Our Verdict
This 2018 Mercedes-Benz A-Class shows a
When inspecting this A-Class, examine the physical condition of the brake discs and pads, as the 2024 test noted multiple pads below 1.5mm and pitted discs. Check that all exterior lighting—including daytime running lamps and position lamps which failed the March 2026 test—operate correctly. Verify the service history to see how frequently maintenance items have been addressed alongside these annual test records.
Negotiation should factor in the vehicle's high mileage relative to the national average for this model, as well as the history of component wear. Ensure you check the condition of the engine undertray, which was noted as damaged in the 2025 test, and inspect all four tyres given the frequent advisories and failures related to tread wear and cuts.
Operating this 1595.0cc petrol Mercedes-Benz A-Class involves considering both standard fixed costs and variable maintenance. Fuel economy for this engine variant is generally moderate, though actual costs will depend on driving style and routes. Insurance group placement and vehicle excise duty apply based on standard UK vehicle classifications for this year and engine size.
Maintenance costs should account for Mercedes-Benz parts pricing and the higher mileage accrued (108,272 miles). Given the recurring brake and tyre advisories in the MOT record, expect to budget for periodic replacement of consumable items. Estimated annual running costs for fuel, tax, insurance, and typical maintenance are projected at £1,600-£2,100.
Pay close attention to the braking system. The 2024 MOT test recorded low brake fluid, a headlamp failure, and brake pads worn to less than 1.5mm on all four corners, alongside worn and pitted rear discs. In 2025, further brake disc wear was noted, alongside a damaged engine undertray.
Inspect the tyres thoroughly. The March 2026 MOT included a failure for an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and featuring a cut, as well as nearside tyre advisories in 2025. Finally, test all electrical functions, specifically checking the daytime running lamps and position lamps following their failure in the March 2026 test.
This green 2018 petrol Mercedes-Benz A-Class with a 1595.0cc engine has recorded 108,272 miles as of March 2026. Its MOT history shows failures in both 2024 and 2026, alongside recurring advisories for brake disc wear and tyre degradation. While it holds a current MOT pass until March 2027, the record highlights items that have required attention.
The Mercedes-Benz A-Class demonstrates a solid aggregate MOT pass rate of 82.2% across the UK fleet, with tyres, windscreen wipers, and headlamps forming the most common failure reasons.
