2014 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 2.1L Diesel · BA06 MCK

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a consistent pattern of deferred attention regarding consumable components. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 114,308 miles passed, it flagged the same recurring issues that have persisted across several years. The trend for the offside rear tyre and rear brake hardware is stable in terms of frequency, suggesting that the owner only addresses these faults when they approach an imminent MOT failure rather than following a preventative maintenance schedule. At 114,308 miles over twelve years, this Mercedes A-Class averages approximately 9,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for its vehicle age. The mileage accumulation shows steady progress, with roughly 5,600 miles covered between October 2024 and March 2026, and approximately 7,000 miles between October 2023 and October 2024. This regular use suggests the vehicle has not been sitting for long periods, which is generally positive for seals but explains the accelerated wear on suspension and braking systems. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the rear braking system, as pitted and scored brake discs have been noted in at least four consecutive tests since 2022. The nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint was flagged for play in 2023 and should be checked to ensure the repair was effective and that no wear has developed elsewhere. Furthermore, the recurring mention of the offside rear tyre wearing on the edge indicates a potential alignment issue or worn camber bush that requires professional diagnosis to prevent further premature tyre degradation.
