2007 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 2.0L Diesel · FG57 VCL

The 2007 Mercedes-Benz A-Class presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed the most recent MOT on 15 April 2025 at 180,429 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the last three annual cycles, with the vehicle clearing its latest test cleanly and showing no escalating advisory or failure pattern in the supplied data. Recorded mileage rose from 169,501 on 11 April 2023 to 175,352 on 15 April 2024, then to 180,429 by 15 April 2025. That equates to roughly 5,800 miles in the first year and 5,077 in the second, both below the lifetime average of about 9,496 miles per year. The lower recent use suggests lighter motoring in later life. The DVSA entries are sparse and clean, showing no advisories or listed defects across any test, though two failed tests on 11 April 2023 and 15 April 2024 carry no recorded reason, implying administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical faults. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points, as a 19-year-old Mercedes of this class commonly suffers from subframe and suspension mounting rust unseen by a bare MOT pass. The absence of advisories on brake discs, suspension bushes, or exhaust emissions does not confirm component health at 180,429 miles. Given the twin failure entries with no defects logged, verify the VOSA failure basis with the test station before purchase. Check coil springs, binding calipers, and tyre condition in person, since consumable wear at this mileage is expected even where the record stays silent.
