MERCEDES-BENZ A-CLASS2016 · 1.5L Diesel

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2025-10-06 at 94,807 miles, though a duplicate failed entry on the same date records no defects. Previous tests from 2024-03-13 (79,410 miles) and 2025-03-14 (89,321 miles) were both passed with no issues. The maintenance history shows no recurring mechanical failures, and the absence of defects in recent tests suggests a stable condition. However, the 2024-03-11 failed test at 79,379 miles—also with no recorded defects—raises questions about the accuracy of the data, though this does not inherently indicate a safety risk. The vehicle’s mileage of 94,807 miles over 10 years aligns with average annual usage of 9,481 miles. A notable gap between the 2024-03-13 test (79,410 miles) and 2025-03-14 test (89,321 miles) reflects a 9,911-mile increase over 12 months, consistent with typical usage. The subsequent 5,486-mile rise to 94,807 miles by 2025-10-06 occurred over seven months, indicating reduced activity but no irregularities in the pattern. The MOT record lacks detailed defect descriptions, which may suggest either meticulous maintenance or limited inspection depth. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, as repeated MOTs without specific mentions of bushings or coil springs could mask gradual wear. The absence of brake-related defects is reassuring, but a physical inspection of brake discs and calipers is advised to confirm no hidden corrosion or binding. Structural integrity remains unaddressed in the records, so checking for rust or panel damage is recommended. Overall, the vehicle appears well-maintained, but the lack of defect details necessitates a hands-on assessment of critical systems.
