2015 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Diesel · EO15 CGF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive ownership pattern. While the most recent test on 17 June 2025 at 149,962 miles passed, it noted an advisory for perishing front tyres. This follows a recurring trend of failing tests due to consumable items like lighting and tyre integrity, suggesting that the owner typically only addresses faults once they trigger an MOT failure rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. At 149,962 miles over 11 years, this A-Class has clocked an average of approximately 13,600 miles per year. The data shows consistent and heavy usage, with 10,370 miles covered between March 2023 and March 2024, and another 4,824 miles in the fourteen months leading up to the June 2025 test. This high annual mileage places significant stress on the drivetrain and suspension components, which is reflected in the persistent state of wear on the braking system recorded across the last three testing cycles. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front braking system. The tester flagged pitted and scored brake discs alongside fluctuating service brakes in both 2023 and 2024. The recurring nature of these issues suggests either poor-quality replacement parts or sticking calipers that are causing uneven wear. Given the high mileage and the history of structural tyre failures, such as the tear and exposed cords, the buyer should also inspect the suspension bushes and bushings for excessive play. The record shows a history of serious tyre defects, including exposed cords and structural tears in 2023 and 2024. Since the 2025 advisory mentions perishing rubber, the rubber is likely reaching the end of its life regardless of tread depth. Verify the remaining life on all tyres and ensure that the previous structural tyre failures have not caused secondary damage to the wheels or suspension geometry. The lack of reported structural corrosion in the records is a positive sign, but the mechanical wear on this high-mile vehicle remains the primary concern.
