2016 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 2.1L Diesel · HG64 ADE

The vehicle demonstrates a highly consistent record of roadworthiness, having secured four consecutive passes without a single advisory or failure recorded between July 2022 and July 2025. This clean history indicates a stable maintenance trend, suggesting the previous owner prioritised preventative care and addressed mechanical requirements before they escalated into test failures. The most recent inspection on 4 July 2025 at 72,693 miles confirms the car remains in good operational order, though the absence of any recorded advisories over a four-year period implies that consumables like brake pads or tyres may have been replaced outside of the MOT process. The recorded mileage of 72,693 miles over a ten-year lifespan aligns with typical UK usage patterns, averaging approximately 7,270 miles per annum. The accumulation remains steady, with the vehicle covering roughly 8,700 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and nearly 10,000 miles in the preceding year. This linear progression suggests the car has seen regular, consistent use rather than suffering from the potential degradation associated with long-term storage or excessive high-speed motorway commuting. Because the official record is entirely free of technical notes, a prospective buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection to identify wear not captured by the test. Focus your assessment on the condition of the brake discs and pads, as these are high-wear items that often require replacement between annual inspections. Inspect the suspension bushes, ball joints, and coil springs for signs of perishing or corrosion, as these components are prone to degradation on a vehicle of this age. Verify the integrity of the tyres for uneven wear patterns, which would indicate a need for a wheel alignment, and check for any fluid leaks beneath the engine bay that might not have been apparent during the stationary MOT emissions and safety check.
