2013 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Diesel · AV13 ACZ

The 2013 Mercedes-Benz A-Class presents a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 25 September 2025 at 114,340 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. The vehicle cleared every annual examination from 2022 through 2025 without advisories, indicating consistent mechanical condition across that four-year span. A prior failure on 22 September 2025 at 114,335 miles shows no logged defects, which points to an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault-driven stop. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a thirteen-year-old car, averaging roughly 8,795 miles per year against the 114,340 miles now recorded. The records show steady accumulation: 95,579 miles in September 2022, 102,563 in September 2023, 107,263 in September 2024, and 114,340 by September 2025. The 6,684-mile gain between 2024 and 2025 aligns with the long-term average. No standing periods or sudden jumps appear in the data, and the clean advisory history suggests previous owners kept basic consumable wear within test limits. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and mileage, as MOT passes with zero advisories do not confirm component life remaining. The tester logged no corrosion or structural integrity concerns across the record, which is favourable for a 2013 platform. Verify the September 2025 failure cause with the DVSA, since the absence of recorded defects leaves the reason unconfirmed from this data alone.
