2014 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Diesel · LC14 ACV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a history of consistent passes over the last three years. The most recent test on 19 September 2025 at 86,102 miles resulted in a clean pass following a technical failure just one day prior at 86,094 miles. This immediate rectification suggests a minor administrative error or a trivial consumable issue that was addressed instantly, as the subsequent test recorded no defects or advisories across any mechanical systems. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,175 miles per annum. Between September 2022 at 50,756 miles and September 2024 at 70,853 miles, the car covered roughly 20,000 miles, indicating steady annual use. The more recent interval of 15,249 miles between 2024 and 2025 maintains this trend. This low-mileage profile generally protects the drivetrain and suspension components from the accelerated wear typically seen with high-mileage cycles. Because the MOT record shows no recurring advisories or failures, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components not frequently scrutinized during a standard test. Check the condition of the rubber suspension bushes and arm joints for cracking, as these can perish over time regardless of low mileage. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting caused by periods of standing, and verify the tyre sidewalls for age cracks to ensure the low usage has not led to rubber degradation.
