2016 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 2.1L Diesel · JH11 LME

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on 20 June 2025 at 110,436 miles passed, but carried advisories for both offside and nearside front tyres being worn to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This suggests that while the owner addresses immediate failures, there is a recurring tendency to run tyres until they reach critical levels. At 110,436 miles, this A-Class has averaged approximately 11,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage for a decade-old vehicle. The data shows consistent annual testing, with an 18,120-mile gap between June 2024 and June 2025, and another 14,800-mile gap between June 2023 and June 2024. This steady accumulation indicates the car is used regularly rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which generally benefits the engine seals and mechanical components. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry and wheel alignment, as the repeated reports of edge wear on tyres in both 2022 and 2025 suggest potential issues stemming from worn bushes or tracking components. The failure in June 2024 at 92,313 miles due to non-conforming registration plates and low tread depth highlights a lack of attention to detail regarding basic maintenance prior to the test. Given the high mileage and the history of tyre issues, a thorough check of the brake discs and pads is necessary to ensure no uneven wear exists. While no structural corrosion or serious mechanical failures were noted in the records, the recurring tyre-related advisories mean the buyer should verify the full service history to ensure oil changes were performed at correct intervals to support the long-term health of the drivetrain.
