2016 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.6L Petrol · SK16 AEX

The 2016 Mercedes-Benz A-Class presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 August 2025 at 72,975 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of five consecutive passes since February 2022. No advisories or failures appear anywhere in the supplied record, which indicates the previous keeper addressed wear before it reached test-threshold condition. Mileage sat at 49,630 miles for the 11 February 2022 test and rose to 56,605 by 28 January 2023, then 65,578 on 3 February 2024 and 69,424 on 29 August 2024. The car covered roughly 7,300 miles per year across its life, a typical figure for a decade-old vehicle. The clean sheet across all five entries shows no rapid accumulation bursts or standing gaps that would hint at neglected storage or hard use. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness given the car is now ten years old and rubber and friction components degrade with age irrespective of mileage. The MOT record flags no corrosion or structural integrity concerns, yet DVSA tests do not strip panels; underbody rust and subframe condition warrant a ramp check. Verify the service history matches the low-defect MOT pattern, since a clean test slate with no advisories can mask skipped interim maintenance on consumables like coolant and transmission fluid. The absence of recorded faults is a positive signal, but it does not substitute for confirming the drivetrain has been lubricated to Mercedes-Benz intervals.
