This 2014 A180 Blue-CY AMG Sport CDI falls short of the UK average, with a first-time MOT pass rate of 73.0% against the national benchmark of 80.0%, suggesting these cars are moderately prone to issues when tested. The good news is that dangerous defects are extremely rare—none of the 288 vehicles analysed had ever recorded one—so safety-critical failures aren't a concern with this model.
At 84,388 miles median mileage for a ten-year-old car, these are average-wear examples, yet they're averaging 0.47 failures per vehicle, which points to recurring mechanical niggles rather than catastrophic problems. Before buying, have a pre-purchase inspection focus on the diesel engine and transmission, as the 73% pass rate suggests maintenance history will be your best predictor of whether this one will sail through its next test.
