2016 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Diesel · PL16 AGU

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a consistent history of passing MOT tests. The most recent inspection on 2 May 2026 at 42,836 miles resulted in a pass, although the tester flagged an advisory regarding the offside rear tyre being worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge. This is the only defect noted in the provided records since 2019, suggesting the vehicle has been generally well-maintained with no recurring mechanical or structural issues. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2016 model, averaging approximately 4,284 miles per year. Between August 2021 and May 2022, the vehicle covered 6,876 miles, which represents a period of higher usage compared to the rest of its history. Since that period, the annual mileage has remained very low, with only 1,592 miles recorded between April 2025 and May 2026. This pattern of infrequent use can sometimes lead to component degradation from sitting idle, such as rubber perishability or battery issues, despite the low mechanical wear on the drivetrain. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyre condition and alignment. The advisory from the May 2026 test regarding edge wear on the offside rear tyre may indicate a need for a wheel alignment check or could signal uneven suspension wear. While the MOT history shows no previous issues with brakes, suspension, or exhaust emissions, the low usage pattern warrants a close look at the condition of all rubber components, including suspension bushes and seals, to ensure they have not perished due to inactivity.
