2013 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Diesel · JH10 BEL

The current roadworthiness status of this Mercedes-Benz A-Class is excellent, with a clear maintenance trend indicating high standards of care. The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 15 September 2025 at 66,593 miles with zero defects recorded. This clean bill of health follows a consistent pattern of fault-free inspections stretching back to September 2021, suggesting the owner has proactively addressed mechanical issues or that the vehicle has been subjected to minimal stress. The recorded mileage of 66,593 over a thirteen-year lifespan averages approximately 5,123 miles per annum, which is significantly lower than the national average. A notable cluster of tests occurred between February 2024 and September 2024, where the vehicle covered roughly 1,345 miles in seven months, followed by a more standard annual accumulation of 7,771 miles leading into the September 2025 test. These figures suggest the car is not suffering from the negative effects of long-term storage, such as seized calipers or perished rubber components, which often plague low-mileage examples that sit idle for extended periods. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components that typically degrade with age rather than mileage, specifically the condition of the suspension bushes and the integrity of the coil springs. While the MOT history is clean, the age of the vehicle means that plastic cooling system components and rubber hoses may be nearing the end of their service life. Check the underside for any signs of surface corrosion on the subframes and ensure the electronic parking brake functions smoothly, as these are common failure points for this generation of A-Class that may not always be captured in a standard annual test.
