This 2013 A180 Blue-CY diesel struggles on the first-time pass rate, hitting just 72.8% against the UK average of 80%, so expect a meaningful proportion of these cars to need remedial work before MOT. The good news is that dangerous defects are virtually absent from the fleet—none of the 204 vehicles logged a dangerous fault—which suggests safety-critical systems have held up reasonably well.
At 92,715 miles on average, these cars are running slightly high for their age, which explains the uptick in failures; the 0.67 average failures per vehicle points to routine wear items rather than structural problems. If you're considering one, budget for minor repairs before MOT, but a pre-purchase inspection from a diesel specialist will give you a clearer picture than the statistics alone.
