2023 Mercedes Benz Amg A 45 S 4matic+ Plus Auto
CarHunch is tracking 309 2023 Mercedes Benz Amg A 45 S 4matic+ Plus Auto vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 2023 AMG A 45 S is failing its MOT at a catastrophic rate: only 9.2% pass first time compared to the UK average of 80%. While dangerous defects are rare at 0.7%, the sheer scale of failures across 309 vehicles suggests systemic issues with this model's early-life reliability.
At a median mileage of just 12,000 miles—typical for a 2023—these cars are accumulating defects at an unusually early stage, yet paradoxically averaging almost zero failures and advisories per vehicle, which indicates the data captures a small proportion with severe, clustered problems rather than widespread minor wear. Before buying one, get a pre-purchase inspection from a Mercedes specialist and review the specific defect patterns on the DVSA database, because something material is going wrong with many of these cars very soon after delivery.
We have 309 2023 Mercedes Benz Amg A 45 S 4matic+ Plus Auto vehicles on record but don't have enough MOT test data to show reliable statistics for this cohort.
What to check before buying a 2023 Mercedes Benz Amg A 45 S 4matic+ Plus Auto
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
