2016 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 2.1L Diesel · J3 GLJ

The vehicle presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 February 2026 at 45,425 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 12 February 2025 at 39,762 miles confirms no advisories or mechanical faults have accumulated across the last two examination cycles. Recorded mileage sits at 45,425 miles for a 2016 registration, equating to roughly 4,542 miles per year. The history shows 34,886 miles on 8 February 2024, 39,762 miles on 12 February 2025, and 45,425 miles on 9 February 2026, a steady annual increase near 5,000 miles with no sudden accumulation or standing gaps. Two failed tests on 8 February 2024 and 10 February 2025 were logged with no defects recorded, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical non-compliance, followed by immediate passes the next day at identical mileages. The absence of advisories across all five entries means no recurring wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion has been flagged by testers. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of underside structural integrity and brake caliper operation, as low-mileage vehicles left standing can develop seized handbrake mechanisms or surface corrosion not visible during a brief MOT ramp check. Given the clean test lineage and low annual use, previous ownership appears to have maintained the car to minimum legal standard without neglected consumables. Physical verification of tyre sidewall condition and exhaust emissions under cold start remains sensible before purchase.
