Our Verdict
A solid purchase option for those seekin
When inspecting this A-Class, focus on the tyre condition. A previous MOT failure in 2024 noted front tyres worn close to the legal limit on both edges, which can sometimes indicate alignment issues. Ensure the current tread depth and tyre wear patterns are uniform across all four wheels.
Given the 2143cc diesel engine, check for any signs of oil leaks or excessive smoke, and confirm if the service history aligns with the mileage. While the MOT shows a recent pass with no defects, always cross-reference the recorded mileage against the service book to ensure consistency.
As a 2.1L diesel, this A-Class is likely to offer efficient motorway cruising but may face higher tax bands depending on specific CO2 emissions. Insurance groups for Mercedes-Benz models of this era tend to be mid-range, so obtain a quote based on the specific registration Y33ACD.
Maintenance costs for Mercedes-Benz vehicles can be higher than for mainstream brands, particularly for specialist parts. Expect typical diesel maintenance requirements such as fuel filter changes and potential DPF considerations as the vehicle approaches the 100,000-mile mark.
Pay close attention to the lighting system; a failure in March 2025 was recorded for a non-working nearside rear position lamp. While this was resolved for the subsequent pass, a thorough check of all indicators, brake lights, and number plate lights is advised.
Additionally, inspect the suspension and steering components. The 2024 MOT failure regarding uneven tyre wear (worn on edges) suggests you should check for any knocks or knocks from the front end and verify that the wheel alignment is correct.
This 2014 white Mercedes-Benz A-Class features a 2.1L diesel engine and has covered 90,531 miles as of its last MOT in April 2026. The vehicle's MOT history shows a relatively clean recent record, with the most recent test passing with no defects. While it has experienced minor failures related to lighting and tyres, it has maintained a consistent testing pattern.
Aggregate data from over 261,000 vehicles shows an 82.1% MOT pass rate for this model, with common failures relating to tyres, headlamps, and brake discs.
