2015 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Diesel · DC15 EGK

The 2015 Mercedes-Benz A-Class presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 July 2025 at 76,318 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 7 August 2023 at 65,109 miles confirms a two-year run free of advisories or failures. The only anomaly is a failed test on 10 August 2024 at 73,396 miles logged with no defects recorded, immediately followed by a pass on the same day at identical mileage, which points to an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage averages around 6,938 miles, consistent with typical use for an eleven-year-old vehicle. The record shows 56,691 miles in August 2022, rising to 65,109 by August 2023 and 73,396 by August 2024, then 76,318 by July 2025. This equates to roughly 8,000 miles per year between 2022 and 2024, easing to under 3,000 in the final period. No standing gaps or sudden accumulation appear. The DVSA data is sparse but clean, with no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust emissions, or corrosion across the five entries. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition despite the absent advisories. Eleven years of age invites latent corrosion on sills and subframes not always caught in a pass. The same-day fail and pass in August 2024 warrants a check of the test centre paperwork to confirm no suppressed defect. Given the spotless defect history, focus the viewing on consumable wear: brake disc thickness, coil spring fatigue, and tyre tread depth. The previous owner clearly kept basic upkeep current, as shown by repeated passes with no flagged wiper blades or lamps.
