2015 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Diesel · AF15 RZH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 110,240 miles passed, it introduced advisories for pitted and scored brake discs on both axles. This indicates that the previous owner consistently deferred component replacements until they reached the point of inspection failure. The trend remains stable in terms of passing but shows persistent mechanical neglect regarding wear and tear items across multiple testing cycles. At 110,240 miles over eleven years, this A-Class averages approximately 10,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical national averages for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage, with roughly 9,200 miles driven between May 2024 and December 2025. This steady mileage accumulation suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, but the high mileage has placed significant stress on the rubber components and braking system, as evidenced by the repeated failures for tyres being near or over legal depth limits. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and tyre fitment. Recurring reports of pitting and scoring on the discs suggest the calipers may be sticking or that the pads have been worn down unevenly. The repeated failure of the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) in both 2024 and 2025 indicates a history of electrical faults or sensor issues that may have been cleared rather than permanently repaired. Furthermore, the consistent mention of edge wear on the offside rear tyres across 2024 and 2025 necessitates a check of the rear suspension geometry and for uneven wear patterns that would indicate poor alignment or worn suspension bushes.
