2013 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.8L Diesel · YA04 ARM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of consistent maintenance. The most recent inspection conducted on 30 April 2025 at 82,835 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2024 and 2022, suggesting that the previous owners have addressed mechanical issues before they escalated into MOT failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-to-moderate usage profile, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year. Between March 2022 and April 2024, the vehicle covered 9,792 miles, while a shorter interval of 9,705 miles was recorded between April 2024 and April 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the car is used regularly, though the brief failure on 2 May 2023 at 67,681 miles indicates a specific mechanical fault was encountered which was evidently rectified quickly enough to achieve a pass the very following day. While the recent records are clean, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on common wear points for this generation of Mercedes-Benz A-Class. Given the age of the vehicle, examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of perished rubber, as these often degrade over time regardless of mileage. Also check the brake discs for scoring or uneven wear and inspect the underside for any developing structural corrosion, as the MOT record does not explicitly detail the state of surface rust on the components.
