2015 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Diesel · LP65 BNV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with an improving maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 24 March 2026 at 62,916 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a successful test in March 2025 at 60,270 miles, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed and are no longer recurring. The mileage pattern shows consistent, low-intensity usage, averaging approximately 5,720 miles per year over its eleven-year lifespan. The data shows steady progression from 36,062 miles in December 2018 to the current 62,916 miles. This low annual mileage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy long-distance commuting, though the history of tyre and brake wear indicates that even low-mileage driving has required standard consumable replacement. The inspection history highlights recurring issues with tyres and braking components. Between 2020 and 2023, the tester frequently flagged tyres worn to the legal limit or showing signs of perishing. A failure in April 2022 at 50,004 miles specifically noted exposed cords on a nearside front tyre and rear brake pads worn to the indicators. While these are consumable items, a buyer should verify the current condition of all four tyres and check for any uneven wear that might suggest alignment issues. Suspension and braking systems warrant a closer physical inspection. The vehicle failed in April 2024 at 57,341 miles due to a fractured offside rear coil spring. Although the subsequent pass in March 2025 suggests this was rectified, the buyer should inspect the suspension components for any signs of premature wear or weeping dampers. Additionally, the advisory in March 2023 regarding a brake pad wear message suggests that while the pads appeared sufficient at the time, a thorough check of the front inner pads and disc surface condition is advisable to ensure no binding or uneven wear persists.
