2010 Mercedes A-Class 2.0L Diesel · GY10 ZDD

The most recent MOT on 2026-05-21 recorded several minor defects, including a front brake disc that was worn, pitted, or scored but not seriously weakened. A nearside rear tyre had a nail in two places, and a rear child seat obstructed full inspection of the adult seat belt. These issues suggest routine maintenance needs but no immediate safety risks. The MOT history shows a pattern of recurring non-critical defects, such as a nearside side repeater lens defect (not affecting light emission) and a failed horn in 2025. These issues were addressed by 2026, indicating intermittent electrical or component faults. However, the horn failure and repeated lens defect highlight potential electrical system vulnerabilities that may require closer inspection. The trend in defects appears stable, with no significant worsening over the past three years. The 2024 and 2023 MOTs were entirely clean, suggesting the vehicle was in good condition before 2025. The recent issues are typical of older vehicles and do not indicate a deteriorating overall condition. The vehicle’s mileage of 57,672 miles over 16 years equates to roughly 3,604 miles per year, which is low for its age.
