2014 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Diesel · FY14 XGS

The 2025‑07‑31 MOT at 101,695 miles passed without any defects, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows a stable, if not improving, trend. No advisory notes were logged in the 2024‑06‑25, 2023‑07‑05 or 2023‑07‑01 tests, and the earlier 2022‑03‑31 pass also recorded zero failures. At 12 years old and 101,695 miles, the average annual mileage of roughly 8,500 miles aligns with typical usage for a 2014 A‑Class. The jump from 88,676 miles in the March 2022 test to 93,993 miles in the July 2023 failure represents an acceleration to about 5,300 miles in four months, after which the mileage rose only 15 miles before the subsequent pass on 5 July 2023. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, verify that the rear brake calipers are not binding, and inspect brake discs for scoring or excessive run‑out. Check the exhaust system for corrosion, confirm the structural integrity of the chassis, and ensure the tyre tread depth and wiper condition are within service limits. Overall the vehicle’s documented history demonstrates consistent passing with no structural or mechanical failures, indicating diligent upkeep, yet a thorough pre‑purchase inspection focusing on the aforementioned components remains essential for confirming roadworthiness.
