2016 MERCEDES-BENZ A-CLASS1.5L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a remarkably clean maintenance history. The most recent MOT test on 2 February 2026 at 65,601 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a failure just seven days prior on 26 January 2026 at 65,473 miles. Given that the record lists no defects for that failure, it suggests an administrative error or a minor sensor trip that was rectified immediately before the re-test. The mileage pattern remains consistent with low-intensity usage for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per annum. Between June 2023 (43,664 miles) and January 2024 (49,152 miles), the car covered 5,488 miles, while it clocked 8,341 miles between the January 2024 and January 2025 tests. This steady, low mileage typically reduces the stress on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and brake assemblies compared to high-mileage examples. Since the MOT history shows no advisories for structural corrosion, brake wear, or suspension play, a physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation rather than mechanical neglect. A buyer should check for cracking in rubber components and perished brake lines, which can occur on a vehicle that sits stationary for extended periods. The lack of recorded faults over five years indicates the previous owners maintained the vehicle to a high standard.
