2015 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 2.1L Diesel · LR65 OSV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in August 2025 with 101,941 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but indicates a reactive approach to minor defects. While the car failed the August test initially due to a nearside front headlamp aim being too low, this was rectified immediately to secure a pass. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical failures or escalating structural issues in the documented testing history provided. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,267 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between January 2024 at 73,588 miles and January 2025 at 95,184 miles, representing an accumulation of over 21,000 miles in a single year. This spike in usage likely correlates with the wear patterns noted in the early 2025 test, as high-mileage intervals place increased stress on consumable items like tyres and suspension components. A buyer should pay close attention to the alignment and suspension geometry. The January 2025 test flagged a nearside rear tyre worn on the inner edge, and the 2024 test noted an offside rear tyre also near the legal limit. These recurring issues often suggest incorrect tracking, worn control arm bushes, or failing shock dampers. A physical inspection of the front camber and rear suspension assembly is necessary to ensure that uneven wear is not leading to premature degradation of more expensive drivetrain components.
