2016 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 2.1L Diesel · CU66 XSE

The 2016 Mercedes-Benz A-Class presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 August 2025 at 45,212 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean MOT outcomes across the available history. Annual mileage sits well below typical norms for a ten-year-old car. The record shows 24,657 miles in September 2021, rising to 29,629 by September 2022, 35,124 in September 2023, 40,352 in August 2024, and 45,212 in August 2025. That equates to roughly 4,500 miles added each year with no gaps or sudden accumulation. The sparse, fault-free entries suggest the vehicle spent long periods lightly used, which can mask degradation in seals, brake calipers, and suspension bushes that inactivity accelerates. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of the brake discs and calipers for binding or corrosion from standing. The tester logged no advisories on tyres, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity, yet low-use cars often hide perishing rubber and underbody rust unseen on a pass certificate. Given the clean record and low yearly use, previous owners appear to have kept basic upkeep current. Verify service history matches the mileage gaps before purchase, as MOT passes alone do not confirm fluid changes or timing-chain condition.
