2016 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Diesel · EJ16 AEO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent maintenance record over the last three years. The most recent test on 30 January 2026 at 113,772 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, following a failure just one day prior at 113,710 miles. This immediate rectification without recorded defects suggests either a clerical error or a very minor sensor-related issue that was instantly resolved rather than a systemic mechanical failure. Since February 2023, the car has maintained a clean MOT sheet, indicating a reliable standard of basic upkeep. The mileage pattern is remarkably regular for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,377 miles per year. Data shows a steady progression from 71,621 miles in February 2023 to 84,862 miles in February 2024, and reaching 99,116 miles by February 2025. This consistent accumulation of roughly 13,000 miles between annual tests suggests typical motorway usage rather than long periods of standing or extreme city driving. The lack of significant gaps in the intervals between tests implies the vehicle has remained in active use without being neglected. Because the MOT history shows no recurring advisories or structural corrosion issues, a physical inspection should focus on high-mileage components typical for the 113,000-mile mark. Check the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of premature wear, as these often degrade at this interval. The buyer should also verify the condition of the brake discs and calipers for uneven wear, even though the record does not flag binding issues previously. The clean history suggests a vehicle that has been maintained according to basic legal requirements.
