2016 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.6L Petrol · SB51 ADB

The vehicle presents as roadworthy following the most recent MOT test on 14 March 2025 at 87,331 miles, where the tester recorded a pass with no defects. Maintenance trend across the available history remains stable, showing consecutive annual passes from February 2022 through to March 2025. A single anomaly appears on 30 January 2024 at 75,923 miles, when the tester issued a failure yet listed no defects, immediately followed by a pass on the same date at identical mileage with no defects recorded. This pattern suggests a minor compliance issue or administrative correction rather than a mechanical fault, and the otherwise clean record implies previous owners adhered to required upkeep. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for a ten-year-old hatchback. The odometer advanced from 60,943 miles at the 3 February 2022 test to 67,466 miles on 2 February 2023, then to 75,923 miles by 30 January 2024, and finally to 87,331 miles by 14 March 2025. Annual distances stayed between 6,500 and 11,500 miles, reflecting an overall average near 8,700 miles per year. The DVSA history is sparse but unblemished aside from the same-day fail, offering no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of consumable and structural components despite the absent MOT advisories. The Mercedes A-Class of this generation commonly shows wear in front suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc lipping by this mileage; testers may not flag these if within tolerance. Examine underbody for corrosion, check calipers for binding, and verify tyre tread and sidewall condition. The unexplained failure on 30 January 2024 warrants scrutiny of the vehicle's V5C and test certificate to confirm no outstanding administrative or recall matter.
