2009 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.6L Petrol · KP59 DWD

The 2009 Mercedes-Benz A-Class presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 11 December 2025 at 73,868 miles where the tester recorded no defects. Each annual examination from 6 December 2021 through to that 2025 test passed without advisories, showing a consistent clean record over the last four years. The odometer sat at 63,032 miles in December 2021 and climbed to 73,868 miles by December 2025, an increase of 10,836 miles across four years or roughly 2,700 miles per year. Against the vehicle's 17-year life and an average of 4,345 miles annually, the recent pace is even lighter than its long-term norm. The sparse five-entry history shows no gaps or sudden accumulation, and the absence of any recorded faults points to a car used sparingly and stored for long periods rather than neglected through heavy use. A buyer should still inspect the underside for structural corrosion given the low mileage and likely extended standing, as moisture trapped in sills and suspension mounts will not show on a clean MOT if not yet perforated. Check the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing from inactivity, and confirm the brake discs and calipers are free from binding after the car sat unused between tests. Verify the service history matches the low annual use, and examine tyres for sidewall cracking from age rather than wear. The official record gives no cause for rejection, but periodic inspection of consumables and chassis remains sensible on a lightweight-used older Mercedes.
