2016 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.6L Petrol · KO16 BFJ

The vehicle holds a clean, unbroken MOT record with five consecutive passes and no defects or advisories recorded at any inspection. The most recent test on 16 January 2026 at 65,052 miles resulted in a straightforward pass, and this follows the same pattern as the four preceding annual tests. The maintenance trend is stable and shows no sign of worsening mechanical or structural condition across the documented period. Mileage accumulation is steady and consistent with typical use. The car recorded 47,570 miles in January 2022, rising to 51,376 by January 2023, then 56,786 in January 2024, 61,070 in January 2025, and finally 65,052 in January 2026. That works out to roughly 4,300 to 5,300 miles per year between tests, which is below the national average but not suspiciously low. There are no gaps in the history and no sudden spikes in mileage that would suggest prolonged storage or heavy single-period use. With no advisories ever flagged, the record gives no specific mechanical warnings for the buyer to chase. That said, a car of this age will still have normal wear on consumables and suspension components even if they have not yet crossed the MOT failure threshold. A hands-on inspection should focus on suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or knocking, brake discs and pads for scoring and thickness, and tyres for uneven wear or perishing. A close look at the underbody for corrosion around the sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points is also sensible given the vehicle is now ten years old, despite the clean structural record to date.
