Insight summary

Mercedes-Benz A 200 is a very rare model in this snapshot, with 1,986 represented vehicles and 0.00% of the active UK pool tracked by AutoRank. For the last 5 years, it has a pass rate of 76.6% from 14,460 MOT tests, with a reliability score of 52. The current pool shows an average of 96,153 miles and an average age of 12.7 years, while mature-fleet mileage is estimated at 100,316 miles. Diesel leads the fuel split, followed by petrol, and the most frequent defect themes are windscreen damage, lighting and coil springs. The practical read is that the Mercedes-Benz A 200 looks like a solid used-car baseline rather than a rare find, with age, mileage and common wear items doing most of the explaining.
