× Maybe like a one year ago.
✓ Maybe like one year ago.
The phrase 'a one year ago' incorrectly combines the indefinite article 'a' with a time expression that already uses a numeral and unit. Use 'one year ago' without 'a'. Alternatively, you can say 'about a year ago' or 'maybe about a year ago' for natural phrasing. Also consider removing 'like' or replacing it with 'about' for formality: 'Maybe about one year ago.'
