2015 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Diesel · FV15 RRY

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate until January 2027, with the most recent inspection at 100,523 miles indicating a stable but aging mechanical condition. While the car has passed every test, the recurring advisories regarding brake components and oil leaks suggest a pattern of deferred maintenance rather than proactive servicing. The transition from minor advisories in 2022 to the current deterioration of suspension dust covers indicates that the vehicle is now entering a phase where wear-related repairs are becoming more frequent. The recorded mileage of 100,523 miles over eleven years aligns with typical usage patterns, averaging roughly 9,100 miles annually. A notable period of higher usage occurred between July 2019 and January 2021, where the vehicle covered approximately 17,000 miles in eighteen months, followed by a more consistent accumulation rate. The history shows no significant gaps in testing, which confirms that the vehicle has remained in regular operation throughout its life, avoiding the risks associated with long-term storage or neglect. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system, specifically the rear discs, which have been flagged as worn or pitted in multiple tests since 2022. The persistent oil leak noted in 2022 and 2023 requires a thorough check of the engine bay and under-tray to determine if the source has been addressed or if it continues to seep. Furthermore, the deteriorated anti-roll bar linkage dust covers identified in January 2026 will likely require replacement to prevent premature failure of the ball joints. Ensure the windscreen chip recorded in 2022 has not expanded, as these small defects often worsen over time due to temperature fluctuations and road vibrations.
