MERCEDES-BENZ A-CLASS2014 · 1.5L Diesel

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz A-Class presents a stable and favourable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 15 November 2025 at 83,847 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Across the four annual examinations from November 2022 to November 2025, the vehicle cleared every test without advisories, indicating consistent upkeep and no escalating mechanical concerns. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a twelve-year-old car, averaging roughly 6,987 miles per year against the recorded 83,847 miles. The records show steady accumulation: 65,505 miles in November 2022, 71,797 in November 2023, 77,769 in November 2024, and 83,847 in November 2025. The only anomaly is a failed test on 17 November 2022 at 65,502 miles with no defects listed, immediately followed the same day by a pass at 65,505 miles, which suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a fault requiring repair. Given the clean history with zero advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion, the previous owner clearly kept the car to a sound standard. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of consumable items not captured by the MOT, such as tyre tread depth, wiper blades, and fluid condition, as these fall outside the test scope. The absence of recurring faults means no specific mechanical weakness is evident from the data. Prior to purchase, verify the underbody for rust and check the front suspension for worn bushes, but the record itself gives no cause to suspect ongoing defects.
