2007 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Petrol · KP07 UWA

The A-Class presents a broadly stable roadworthiness picture, with the most recent test on 1 December 2025 at 80,985 miles returning a pass after an initial failure the same day with no defects logged. The December 2024 cycle showed the identical pattern: a failure followed by a pass at 65,292 miles, again with no defects recorded. Three consecutive annual tests closed clean, so the maintenance trend is neither worsening nor resolving defects, but the repeated fail-then-pass same-day sequence points to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical decline. Recorded mileage sits at 80,985 over roughly nineteen years, an average of about 4,262 miles per year, which is low for the age. The car gained 16,219 miles between the December 2023 test at 49,073 miles and December 2024 at 65,292 miles, then added 15,693 miles by December 2025. That steady 15 to 16k annual use over the last two years follows a long period of lighter running, and the sparse, clean record gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural repairs. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and the unexplained same-day failures. The DVSA entries flag no advisories on corrosion, exhaust emissions, or binding calipers, yet a 2007 Mercedes left standing for long spells before its recent mileage rise may hide perished rubber components or surface structural rust unseen in the test data. Verify the reason for the two fail results with the test station paperwork, since no defects were recorded either time. Confirm in person that the subframe, sills, and brake lines are free of moisture-driven corrosion before purchase.
