2015 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Diesel · SE04 ANJ

The 2025‑08‑27 MOT at 56,482 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance trend. All previous tests from 2018 through 2024 also resulted in passes, with only tyre‑related observations noted, suggesting that previous owners have addressed any minor issues promptly and have not allowed serious mechanical problems to develop. Mileage accumulation shows a low annual average of roughly 5,135 miles for an 11‑year‑old vehicle, reflecting lighter use or extended periods of inactivity. The record reveals a rapid increase from 24,934 miles in June 2019 to 31,767 miles by June 2020 (6,833 miles in one year), followed by a slower rise to 56,482 miles by August 2025, indicating that recent usage has been modest compared with earlier years. Recurring tyre observations — offside front and rear tyres showing perishing cracks and wear close to the legal limit in 2021, 2024 and 2025 — suggest that tyre replacement intervals may have been insufficient or that the tyres are of a type prone to early degradation. Buyers should therefore inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, binding calipers, brake discs, and structural rust, as well as verify tyre tread depth and condition, to ensure that the vehicle’s mechanical integrity matches its clean MOT history. A thorough in‑person inspection should focus on the condition of the suspension components, brake system performance, exhaust integrity, and any signs of structural corrosion, while also checking the current state of the tyres and wheel alignment to confirm that the recurring tyre faults have been properly remedied.
