2021 Mercedes-Benz A 250 AMG Line ED Premium E A 1.3L Hybrid electric · YR71 HSK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 28 November 2025 at 80,499 miles. The maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than preventative care. While the car failed its test in November 2024 due to a structural failure in the nearside rear tyre, the subsequent pass reveals that the owner neglected to address the front tyres until they were at the legal limit and showing signs of uneven edge wear. At 80,499 miles over five years, this Mercedes has covered an average of 16,100 miles per annum, which exceeds the national average for its age. The record shows 13,016 miles between the November 2024 and November 2025 tests, indicating consistent high-frequency use likely motorway driving. This rate of accumulation puts significant stress on wear-related components, particularly the suspension bushings and braking system, which are taxed on the AMG Line specification. A buyer must inspect the front suspension and alignment geometry, as the 2025 advisory specifically noted that both the nearside and offside front tyres were worn on the edge. This pattern of wear often indicates a tracking issue or worn control arms that could lead to premature tyre degradation. The previous failure for a structural bulge in the rear tyre also suggests the vehicle may have encountered significant impacts, necessitating a thorough check of the wheel rims and subframe for hidden damage.
