2015 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.6L Petrol · LW65 CAU

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 4 September 2024 at 37,286 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a clean result from the October 2023 test, indicating that the vehicle has maintained its mechanical integrity over the last two inspection cycles. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,400 miles per year. Between the October 2023 test at 34,598 miles and the September 2024 test at 37,286 miles, the car covered only 2,688 miles. This low usage suggests minimal wear and tear on the drivetrain and engine components, though long periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts and fluid chemistry regardless of mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that suffer from age rather than high-mileage. Despite the lack of recorded advisories, the inspector should check for cracking in tyre sidewalls and perished suspension bushes, which often occur on stationary vehicles. Brake discs should be examined for surface corrosion, as low-frequency use can lead to seized calipers or pitting. Verifying the chassis for any early structural rust remains essential to ensure the low mileage has not masked environmental damage.
