2019 Mercedes-Benz A 180 Sport Executive D Auto 1.5L Diesel · WV19 OVF

The vehicle presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a notably clean bill of health at its most recent MOT on 6 December 2025 at 81,643 miles. That test passed with zero defects recorded, a significant improvement over the previous inspection in December 2024 when the tester flagged both front tyres worn close to legal limits and a windscreen chip. The rectification of those advisories between late 2024 and late 2025 demonstrates that the previous owner addressed basic consumable wear promptly before the final test. The mechanical condition appears to have stabilised with no emerging faults in the latest record. The mileage accumulation of roughly 11,663 miles per year is entirely typical for a seven-year-old A-Class diesel automatic, and the annual test intervals show consistent usage rather than long periods of dormancy. Between the February 2022 test at 43,206 miles and the December 2022 test at 51,242 miles, the car covered approximately 8,000 miles in ten months, then stepped up to around 14,400 miles in the following twelve months through December 2023. The pace settled back to around 9,600 miles per year between December 2023 and December 2025. There are no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer record that would suggest mileage tampering or prolonged neglect. Despite the clean final MOT, the recurring tyre wear advisories in December 2024 warrant closer physical inspection. Both front tyres were noted as worn on the edge, which on a front-wheel-drive Mercedes-Benz A-Class with MacPherson strut front suspension often points to worn front lower arm bushes or deteriorated anti-roll bar links causing excessive camber. A buyer should jack the front end and check for play in the suspension bushes, ball joints, and track rod ends, as these components are prone to wear at this mileage. The undertrays noted as fitted in December 2023 may have been shielding the engine bay from inspection, so verifying their condition and what lies beneath them is worthwhile. Given the diesel automatic powertrain, the dual-mass flywheel and gearbox mountings should be assessed for excessive vibration or clunking during a road test, as these are common failure points on high-mileage A-Class automatics that MOT records alone cannot reveal.
