2014 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Diesel · AP13 ABP

The 2014 Mercedes‑Benz A‑Class remains roadworthy as of the latest MOT on 18 February 2026 at 140,913 miles, where no defects were recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable; the vehicle has passed every test in the record and no recurring faults have been flagged. The brief failure on 13 February 2026, four days earlier, also reported no defects, suggesting a procedural or administrative issue rather than a mechanical shortfall. Mileage growth is consistent with the vehicle’s age. From 108,102 miles in February 2024 to 131,425 miles in February 2025, the car accumulated 23,323 miles—roughly 1,000 miles per month. The subsequent 9,488 miles to 140,913 miles in February 2026 represent a normal annual average of about 9,500 miles. No gaps or sudden spikes appear in the record, indicating a regular driving pattern rather than irregular or intensive use. When viewing the car in person, focus on components that routinely wear or are critical for safe operation, even though the MOT record shows no faults. Inspect tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity, brake pads and discs for wear or unevenness, suspension bushings and coil springs for cracking or excessive play, and the steering rack for smooth operation. Check the exhaust system for rust or leaks, the chassis for corrosion, and verify that all fluid levels—engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and power steering—are within recommended ranges. These checks will confirm that the vehicle’s mechanical condition aligns with the clean MOT history.
