2015 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Diesel · KF15 NFT

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 14 May 2026 at 107,041 miles with no recorded defects. This indicates a stable maintenance trend following a period of neglect in early 2024. While the historical record shows recurring failures regarding consumable items, the clean report sheet from the latest test suggests that the current owner has addressed previous faults and is maintaining the vehicle to required standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,700 miles per year. There is a significant jump in usage between June 2022 (62,727 miles) and February 2024 (87,367 miles), where the car covered over 25,000 miles in less than two years. Since then, the vehicle has covered another 20,000 miles, suggesting a return to a regular, high-frequency usage pattern that places consistent stress on the drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should specifically inspect the braking system and tyres, as the history shows repeated issues in these areas. The February 2024 failure flagged thin rear brake pads and a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system, while previous tests noted perishing rubber and structural tyre failures. These recurring faults suggest that previous owners only addressed these issues when a test failed. A physical inspection should check for uneven pad wear or binding calipers and ensure the current tyres show no signs of sidewall cracking. Structural attention should also be paid to the rear bumper and windscreen, given the 2018 failure for a damaged offside rear body panel that could cause injury. Although no structural corrosion has been flagged in the recent records, the history of impact damage warrants a close look for quality of repair. Given the mileage is over 100,000 miles, verifying the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs is also essential to ensure no mechanical play has developed since the last test.
