2013 MERCEDES-BENZ A-CLASS1.5L Diesel

The 2013 Mercedes-Benz A-Class presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 July 2025 at 130,064 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from July 2022 through July 2024 also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test on 15 July 2022 at 113,998 miles that recorded no defects, followed by a pass thirteen days later at 114,009 miles, indicating an administrative or unrecorded correction rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at roughly 10,000 miles, typical for a thirteen-year-old vehicle. The records show steady accumulation: 116,696 miles in July 2023, 124,873 miles in July 2024, and 130,064 miles in July 2025. The gap between the July 2022 tests shows only eleven miles added, confirming the failure was a quick retest rather than extended use. No rapid accumulation or prolonged standing is evident across the timeline. Given the clean pass history with no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion, the previous owner maintained the car to a basic standard. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the underbody for corrosion and check the front suspension arms and rear brake calipers for wear, as these components commonly degrade on high-mileage Mercedes models without triggering MOT advisories. The 2025 test is just under twelve months old, so the vehicle enters sale with valid test status. Verify the service history matches the recorded mileages and confirm no outstanding manufacturer recalls before purchase.
