2014 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Diesel · AF08 AFF

The MOT record for this 2014 Mercedes-Benz A-Class shows a consistently passing pattern with no advisories recorded. The most recent test on 3 February 2026 at 68,957 miles produced a clean pass, and the previous pass on 29 January 2025 at 61,240 miles was also defect-free. One failure appears that same day in January 2025, but with no defects itemised, which indicates a minor issue corrected immediately before retesting. The maintenance trend is stable and reassuring rather than worsening. The annual mileage works out to roughly 5,746 miles per year, which is low for a twelve-year-old car. The recorded intervals show steady usage: 49,326 miles in February 2023, 55,098 in February 2024, 61,240 in January 2025, and 68,957 in February 2026. No long periods of standing or erratic jumps in mileage appear. The final gap runs just over twelve months and covers around 7,700 miles, a slight increase in annual use, but still within a normal light-to-moderate pattern. Because the entire MOT history is clean, the record gives a buyer little to probe. A physical inspection must therefore target items that commonly degrade on a twelve-year-old car regardless of MOT outcome. Look for tired suspension bushes and coil springs, binding rear calipers, worn brake discs, and any corrosion on floor pan, subframes, or suspension mounting points. Check tyre tread depth across all four corners as well, since a car that passes without advisories can still hide uneven wear or old rubber. No structural red flags appear in the history, but those areas are where age will show first.
