2016 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Diesel · FP66 ADV

This vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, having passed its most recent MOT on 5 January 2026 at 75,682 miles. The record shows a clean bill of health with no defects or advisories noted during the final inspection. While the history shows several failures on the same day as the passes, the lack of recorded defects suggests these were likely administrative errors or minor issues rectified immediately on site. The mileage is consistent with the age of the car, averaging roughly 7,568 miles per year. Between the October 2024 test at 66,799 miles and the January 2026 test at 75,682 miles, the vehicle covered 8,883 miles over approximately 14 months. This indicates steady, regular use rather than prolonged periods of standing, which generally helps preserve rubber components and prevents battery degradation. The absence of any recorded advisories across the last two years is unusual for a ten year old vehicle. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for wear that may have been overlooked or not documented. Given the age of the car, checking for underside corrosion and ensuring the brake calipers are not binding is prudent, as these are common failure points for this model that do not always appear in a clean MOT history. The lack of recurring mechanical faults suggests a well-maintained vehicle or one that has undergone significant preventative work. Focus the physical inspection on the condition of the tyres and the service history to confirm that oil changes and filter replacements align with the mileage increases seen between 2024 and 2026.
