2010 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 2.0L Diesel · GY10 GYC

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT test on 15 December 2025 at 68,507 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record reveals a consistent pattern of immediate failures followed by passes within the same week. In both 2024 and 2025, the car failed its inspection just days before a successful result, suggesting that the owner only addresses mechanical defects when prompted by a testing failure rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is notably low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,282 miles per year. Between the November 2023 test at 62,707 miles and the November 2024 test at 66,392 miles, the car covered 3,685 miles in a year. While this low mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of inactivity can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, seized brake calipers, and internal corrosion in fluid lines. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking system, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from perished bushes and corroded brake discs despite low pad wear. Because the history shows no specific defects recorded on the failed attempts, the issues were likely minor items like light bulbs, wipers, or slight fluid leaks that were rectified quickly. Pay close attention to the structural integrity of the chassis, specifically the rear sills and wheel arches, as vehicles of this age and age are prone to moisture-related rust regardless of how much they have been driven.
