2013 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Diesel · HN63 AEW

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-10-13 at 106,211 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past 12 months. Previous tests from 2024-10-14 (96,017 miles) and 2023-10-14 (90,816 miles) also passed without issues, suggesting consistent upkeep. However, a discrepancy exists: the same date in 2023 shows both a pass and a fail, though no defects were logged for either, which may reflect administrative error. No recurring mechanical or structural faults are evident in the record, and the absence of advisories or critical failures implies the car has been maintained to a satisfactory standard. The mileage progression aligns with average annual usage for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging ~8,170 miles per year. The 2022-10-15 test at 86,596 miles shows a 4,200-mile gap to the 2023-10-14 test, followed by a 5,200-mile increase by 2024-10-14, then a 10,194-mile jump to 2025-10-13. These figures suggest regular but not excessive use, with no signs of rapid wear or prolonged inactivity. The MOT history is otherwise clean, with no repeated failures or escalating issues, which supports the conclusion of stable mechanical condition. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s suspension, brakes, and exhaust systems during an in-person inspection, as these components are critical for long-term reliability. While no defects were recorded, the 2023 MOT discrepancy warrants scrutiny to confirm the accuracy of the history. Additionally, checking for corrosion around the chassis and underbody, particularly given the car’s age, is advisable. The absence of tyre or wiper-related advisories suggests routine consumable maintenance was prioritized, but a detailed check of brake discs, calipers, and suspension bushes would provide further assurance of roadworthiness.
