2012 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 2.0L Diesel · AGZ 9

The vehicle presents a current roadworthy status following the March 2026 test at 52,156 miles, where the DVSA record shows a pass issued on 17 March 2026 after an initial failure on the same date with no defects logged. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with three consecutive annual passes at 45,592 miles in March 2024, 48,464 miles in March 2025, and 52,156 miles in March 2026. The paired fail and pass entries on identical dates with no recorded defects suggest administrative rejections rather than mechanical faults, so no worsening or resolving fault pattern is evident. The odometer shows 52,156 miles against a 2012 build year, equating to roughly 3,725 miles per annum. The spread is consistent and low: 45,592 miles in March 2024, 48,464 miles in March 2025, and 52,156 miles in March 2026 gives annual gains of about 2,872 and 3,692 miles. No abrupt accumulation or standing gaps appear between the three tests. The clean record with zero advisories across all entries implies previous owners kept the car lightly used and presented it without outstanding wear items. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and subframe corrosion given the car's fourteen years regardless of low mileage. Long idle periods at low use can allow moisture ingress and perished rubber that a pass with no advisories will not reveal. Verify the March 2026 same-day fail and pass was clerical, and confirm tyre sidewall condition, binding calipers, and exhaust emissions on a cold start before purchase.
