2016 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.6L Petrol · AP16 YFA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass on June 24, 2025 at 90,117 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but reactive, as evidenced by a significant failure just one mile prior. At 90,116 miles, the car failed due to a fractured nearside rear coil spring and a nearside front tyre bulge. The fact that the owner addressed these critical safety defects immediately to secure a pass indicates a baseline commitment to necessary repairs. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a decade-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per annum. The record shows steady annual accumulation, moving from 77,624 miles in April 2023 to 87,181 miles in June 2024, and reaching 90,117 miles by June 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which generally reduces the risk of internal degradation associated with rubber components and fluid seals. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the suspension geometry, as the history indicates a predisposition to spring failure. While the 2025 failure was rectified, the March 2024 advisory regarding perishing and cracking on both rear tyres suggests the rubber compounds may be reaching the end of their functional life regardless of tread depth. Inspect the sidewalls for further stress cracking and verify that the windscreen damage noted in 2023 has not progressed into a structural crack that compromises the driver's field of view.
