Our Verdict
Proceed with caution unless the service history is impeccable. While the A-Class remains a premium small hatchback, the high mileage and recurring MOT failures suggest this specific example may require significant investment soon.
Your primary focus for this vehicle must be the full service history. At over 120,000 miles, you need to ensure the timing belt and water pump have been replaced, as this is a critical interval for this engine. Ask for any evidence of Diesel Part Filter (DPF) cleaning or replacement, as these are common issues on high-mileage diesel Mercedes models that have been used for short trips.
Negotiate based on the high mileage and the fact that the car failed its MOT in both 2024 and 2025. This suggests the owner only fixes faults when forced by the law rather than performing preventative maintenance. Check for oil leaks around the turbo and inspect the condition of the suspension components, which tend to wear at this mileage.
