2009 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.7L Diesel · LD59 FVG

The maintenance trend for this 2009 Mercedes-Benz A-Class is exceptionally stable, demonstrating consistent care over its recent lifespan. The most recent test on 19 September 2025 at 133,060 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. A separate entry exists for the exact same date and mileage showing a failure, though no defects are listed for that entry either. This anomaly typically indicates an administrative error or an aborted test rather than a genuine mechanical fault. Ultimately, the vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate with zero advisories, indicating it meets the required roadworthiness standards. The mileage accumulation aligns perfectly with typical domestic use for a vehicle of this age. Between September 2022 and September 2024, the car covered 23,360 miles over two years, averaging roughly 11,680 miles annually. The subsequent year, from September 2024 at 119,900 miles to the September 2025 test at 133,060 miles, saw a slightly higher accumulation of 13,160 miles. This steady, predictable increase suggests regular, sustained driving rather than prolonged periods of inactivity, which reduces the risk of deterioration from standing, such as perished rubber components or flat-spotted tyres. Because the MOT history is entirely free of advisories or failures, there are no recurring mechanical faults to flag. A prospective buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection focused on the structural integrity and suspension components typical of a seventeen-year-old A-Class. Examine the subframes, suspension mounts, and coil springs for signs of corrosion or cracking. Check the brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or binding, and inspect the inner and outer sidewalls of the tyres for age-related cracking. A clean MOT record reflects current compliance, but verifying the condition of the undercarriage and drivetrain remains essential before purchase.
