2016 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Diesel · K23 EFC

The vehicle remains road‑worthy, having passed the most recent MOT on 10 April 2026 at 88,694 miles with no recorded defects. Over the past six years the record shows a stable maintenance pattern; no new advisory has appeared since the 2025 test, and earlier issues such as tyre wear and brake disc scoring have not recurred. At ten years old the car has accumulated 88,694 miles, averaging roughly 8,900 miles per annum. The mileage progression is consistent, rising from 43,212 miles in May 2019 to 57,171 miles in November 2020, then to 63,731 miles in April 2022, 70,381 miles in April 2023, 76,965 miles in April 2024, 82,360 miles in April 2025 and 88,694 miles in April 2026. No unusually rapid spikes are evident, and the intervals between tests are typical for an annually inspected vehicle. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the front tyres, as both nearside and offside fronts were flagged in April 2025 as being close to the legal tread limit. The brake system warrants visual and tactile inspection: front and rear discs were noted as worn and pitted in 2025, and rear discs and linings showed wear in 2022. Checking disc thickness and pad wear will confirm whether the components remain within safe margins. The nearside rear coil spring was recorded as corroded in both 2022 and 2025; a close look at the rear suspension for rust, bushings, and spring integrity is advisable. Finally, a general survey for any emerging corrosion on structural panels will ensure no hidden deterioration has developed since the last clean test.
