2008 Mercedes A-Class 1.5L Petrol · YY58 ACX

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 7 July 2026 at 123,298 miles, confirming that it met the minimum roadworthiness standards at that time. However, the test history shows a persistent pattern of corrosion on the off‑side rear fuel filler neck, front and rear brake pipes, and the off‑side front steering rack inner joint, indicating a worsening maintenance trend rather than improvement. With a recorded mileage of 123,298 miles over 18 years, the car averages roughly 6,850 miles per year, a rate that aligns with typical usage for its age. The mileage progression from 2020 (86,539 miles) to 2026 (123,298 miles) shows steady increments of 5,500‑7,000 miles annually, with no large gaps or sudden jumps, suggesting consistent use and no major periods of standing still. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the front and rear brake pipes, the steering rack inner joints for excessive play, the rear coil springs and suspension bushes for rust, the brake discs and pads for wear, the fuel filler neck and exhaust system for structural corrosion, and the overall underside for hidden damage, as these items have repeatedly appeared on previous MOTs.
