Our Verdict
This 2016 Mercedes-Benz A-Class presents a reassuringly clean MOT history with four consecutive passes and zero recorded defects. Backed by below-average mileage for its age, it represents a solid proposition for a UK buyer.
When inspecting this A-Class, request the physical service book or digital printout to verify how the routine maintenance aligns with the 73,060 recorded miles. Check the bodywork carefully around the black paint for any hidden parking dings or stone chips, and ensure all interior electronics—such as the infotainment system and dual-zone climate control—function correctly during a test drive.
Negotiate based on the timing of upcoming consumables like tyres, brakes, and the next scheduled service. Given that common MOT failure points for this model nationwide include tyres, headlamps, and brake discs, pay close attention to the remaining tread depth and the condition of the brake rotors during your inspection.
The 2143cc diesel engine in this A-Class offers strong fuel economy for motorway cruising and long-distance commuting. Depending on the exact CO2 output bracket for this 2016 variant, annual vehicle tax will fall into the standard UK rates.
Insurance group ratings for this engine size typically sit in the mid-to-high range, so prospective buyers should obtain quotes prior to purchase. Factoring in routine maintenance, insurance, fuel, and road tax, the estimated annual running cost is approximately £1,300-£1,600.
Begin your physical inspection by examining the areas highlighted by national model data: tyres, headlamps, and brake discs. Check all four tyres for even wear and correct legal tread depth, inspect the headlamp units for cloudiness or moisture ingress, and feel the brake discs for excessive lip or scoring.
Although the MOT history for KU66EVX shows no recorded defects across four consecutive tests from 2021 to 2025, a thorough walkaround is still essential. Listen for any unusual noises from the 2.1-litre diesel engine on a cold start, check the suspension over speed bumps, and verify that all dashboard warning lights extinguish correctly after ignition.
First registered in September 2016, this black A-Class features a 2143cc diesel engine and has covered 73,060 miles as of its May 2025 MOT test. Its test history is notably unblemished, showing clean passes in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2025 without a single advisory or failure recorded. This compares favourably against the model's aggregate 82.1% pass rate across 262,402 analysed vehicles.
The Mercedes-Benz A-Class demonstrates a solid reliability record nationally with an average MOT pass rate of 82.1% across more than 260,000 tested vehicles.
