2007 Mercedes A-Class 2.0L Diesel · KS07 YCW

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a consistent pass record over the last five years. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 108,515 miles resulted in a pass, it introduced minor mechanical defects. The tester flagged a severely deteriorated offside front outer drive shaft constant velocity boot alongside a deteriorated registration plate and a defective headlamp reflector. These issues represent typical wear rather than a systemic mechanical failure, following four consecutive clean tests between 2022 and 2025. The mileage pattern is notably low for a vehicle from 2007, averaging approximately 5,700 miles per year. Between June 2022 and April 2026, the car covered only 10,060 miles, indicating light use or long storage periods. This low mileage often preserves the drivetrain and engine components, though it can occasionally lead to rubber degradation or dry seals if the vehicle sits for extended periods. The intervals between tests remain regular, with the mileage increasing in consistent increments of roughly 3,000 miles annually since 2023. A buyer should specifically inspect the offside front drive shaft area to ensure that grease has not leaked from the deteriorated boot, which would lead to premature joint failure. Given the age of the vehicle and the low mileage, a thorough check for structural integrity and corrosion on the sills and wheel arches is essential, as these are common weak points for this model. While the MOT record shows no history of brake or suspension issues, a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and brake calipers is advised to confirm that age-related oxidation has not caused seizing or perished rubber.
