2016 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Diesel · CU16 XRE

The 2016 Mercedes-Benz A-Class presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 2 December 2025 at 101,386 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test showed no defects, and prior annual tests in 2024 and 2023 also returned passes with no advisories logged. The record gives no indication of worsening mechanical condition. Annual mileage averages around 10,139 miles against the vehicle's ten-year life, which is typical for this age of car. The odometer moved from 78,386 miles at the November 2023 test to 89,333 miles in November 2024, then to 101,386 miles by December 2025, reflecting steady rather than aggressive use. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, with only two failed entries logged on consecutive days in 2023 and 2025, both showing no recorded defects, implying administrative or presentation issues at test rather than mechanical rejection. The back-to-back fail and pass entries on 28 November 2023 at 78,368 and 78,386 miles, and again on 1 and 2 December 2025 at 101,384 and 101,386 miles, suggest the vehicle was presented for test before a correction or re-entry was made. A buyer should still confirm in person that no latent suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural corrosion issues exist that the tester omitted. Given the clean advisory history, focus a physical inspection on tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and underbody rust at 101,000 miles, where consumable wear naturally accrues.
