2019 Mercedes-Benz A 1.5L Diesel · LA19 DOU

The vehicle currently maintains a good roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 20 July 2026 at 76,818 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the only failure recorded in 2025 was immediately rectified. The transition from a failed test back to a clean sheet indicates that the current owner is responsive to testing requirements and addresses faults before they escalate into mechanical failures. The mileage profile is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. There is a noticeable increase in usage between July 2024 (49,502 miles) and June 2025 (69,476 miles), representing over 20,000 miles in a single year. Prior to this period, the vehicle covered significantly lower distances, such as the 11,200 miles recorded between the May and 2023 tests. This spike in mileage likely accelerated the wear on consumable components and the suspension system. A buyer should specifically inspect the braking system during a physical evaluation, as the June 2025 test flagged lipped front brake discs. While these were noted as not excessively worn, the presence of lips suggests the components may be nearing the end of their service life. Given the recent high mileage, it is also prudent to check the condition of the suspension bushes and shock absorbers to ensure the increased usage has not caused premature degradation or oil-related leaks. The lack of structural corrosion or advisories across the history suggests the chassis remains well-preserved.
