⚠ Things to Look Out For

Inspector's Professional Opinion

This 2015 Mercedes-A45 is in fair overall condition, but it does have some issues that need attention before you buy it. The good news is that the brakes, battery, and new tyres are all in decent shape, but the engine has several problems including a minor oil leak from the valve cover, a noisy tappet, and low turbo boost pressure according to the computer codes. The car has clearly had accident damage in the past — the front bumper, bonnet, and left rear fender have all been fully repainted, and the right front fender appears to have been replaced, which raises questions about what happened. On the mechanical side, you'll find worn tie rod ends in the front suspension, a missing underbody cover on the left side, damaged bonnet hinges, and a leaking axle boot in the transmission. The interior shows typical wear for a car with this mileage, but the sunroof doesn't work and there are electrical faults affecting the intelligent headlights, rain sensor, and tyre pressure sensors. The most urgent repairs needed are the sunroof (AED 1500), the missing engine shield (AED 150), and the engine and transmission issues, which could cost another AED 3200 to AED 4200 to fix properly. This car is **recommended but fix these things first: the sunroof, engine shield cover, oil leak, engine mounts, tappet noise, and the turbo boost pressure issue** — get a specialist to look at the turbo problem and the past accident damage before committing to this purchase.
