2016 Mercedes-Benz A 180 D SE Executive 1.5L Diesel · SE55 ANA

The vehicle presents a stable and sound roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 8 February 2026 at 105,023 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the four preceding annual examinations from 2023 to 2025 also passed cleanly. The lone failure occurred on 4 January 2023 at 57,660 miles, yet the tester logged no defects and the car passed the very next day on 5 January 2023 at 57,700 miles, indicating a clerical or administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear anywhere in the ten-year record. Annual mileage has tracked close to the expected norm for a 2016 car. The odometer moved from 57,700 miles in January 2023 to 70,566 miles by February 2024, then 86,207 miles in February 2025, and 105,023 miles in February 2026. That equates to roughly 13,000 to 19,000 miles per year across the last three intervals, marginally above the 10,500-mile average but consistent and unremarkable. The clean sweep of passes with no flagged wear items suggests the previous keeper kept basic consumable and structural upkeep current rather than deferring faults. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection despite the unblemished sheet. The absence of advisories does not preclude worn coil springs, tired suspension bushes, or incipient underbody corrosion that a test centre may not have escalated. Given the 105,023-mile count, verify brake caliper operation, tyre tread depth, and drivetrain condition in person. The repeated clean results imply disciplined ownership and no recurring mechanical trend to monitor. Treat the 2023 one-day fail as a non-event. On present evidence the car is mechanically trustworthy, though physical confirmation of structural integrity remains prudent before purchase.
