2015 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Diesel · LS15 TYC

The most recent MOT on 28 August 2025 at 141,750 miles recorded a pass, with the only advisory items being front‑tyre tread approaching the legal limit and slight distortion of both front wheels. After a failure in January 2024 that required remedial work on the engine management light, SRS warning, and a fractured front wheel, the vehicle has subsequently cleared all major defects, indicating a stabilising maintenance trend. Mileage has risen sharply in the last three years. From 65,415 miles on 20 January 2023 the odometer jumped to 120,408 miles by 19 January 2024 – an increase of roughly 55,000 miles in twelve months – before climbing to 141,750 miles by August 2025. Earlier records show modest annual growth, with the car accumulating only about 5,000 miles per year between 2018 and 2022. The recent high‑use period suggests accelerated wear on consumables and potentially on suspension components. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the front tyres and confirm that wheel distortion has been rectified, as recurring wheel‑shape issues can affect handling. Inspection of the off‑side front anti‑roll bar linkage dust cover is advisable, given its repeated deterioration noted in both January 2024 tests. The engine management indicator and supplementary restraint system lamp must be checked for illumination, ensuring the earlier faults have been fully resolved. A visual appraisal of the windscreen for damage, a check of brake pad thickness (thin pads were flagged in 2020), and a brief assessment of suspension bushings for excess play will further confirm the car’s structural integrity.
