2013 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Diesel · DS02 AFS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test on 16 July 2025 at 94,396 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following an initial failure on the same day. This suggests a minor issue was identified and rectified immediately by the owner. Since 2022, the car has maintained a clean record, indicating a consistent level of mechanical upkeep over the last three years. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per annum. Between December 2022 and May 2023, the car covered only 647 miles, indicating a period of low activity. However, the mileage increased significantly in the following two years, with 24,810 miles covered between May 2023 and July 2025. This shift suggests the vehicle is currently being used more regularly, which is generally beneficial for preventing the degradation of seals and components often associated with long periods of standing. While the digital record shows no recurring structural failures or persistent mechanical faults, a physical inspection should focus on common wear points for this generation of A-Class. The buyer should examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue, as these often age regardless of mileage. Given the recent increase in usage, checking the brake discs for uneven wear and ensuring the calipers are not binding is advisable to ensure the braking system has not been stressed by the higher-mileage period.
