2015 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Diesel · LS65 CFD

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently non-compliant, as evidenced by the two distinct MOT failures recorded in February 2025, which occurred shortly after the most recent test on 18 June 2026. This sequence indicates that the vehicle's mechanical condition has deteriorated over the past four years, demonstrating a clear worsening trend in maintenance history rather than a stable or improving pattern. The first failure in February 2025, where the offside rear mirror was severely damaged, suggests that the suspension and braking systems were not adequately maintained during the initial inspection period, leaving the vehicle vulnerable to further wear. The mileage profile reveals a significant accumulation of consumption that is inconsistent with a typical low-mileage vehicle. At 62,015 miles, the car has undergone approximately 11 years of service, yet only two MOTs have been recorded, with the second test failing at 54,298 miles. This gap between the second test and the current date of 18 June 2026 suggests that the vehicle has been in use for several years without any scheduled MOTs, leading to the accumulation of wear on critical components such as the suspension bushings, coil springs, and brake discs. The rapid mileage increase over the last two years, combined with the lack of a third MOT, points to a pattern of neglect where consumables were not replaced or serviced at the recommended intervals, effectively masking structural risks. Given the recurring faults and the structural risks identified in the history, the buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to assess the condition of the suspension, brakes, and drivetrain components. The most immediate concern is the offside rear mirror, which has been damaged in a way that affects the rear view and may indicate underlying suspension or braking issues; if the mirror is not replaced or inspected, the vehicle may not meet the legal requirements for a full MOT inspection. Additionally, the nearside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit and the bulge in the offside front tyre require immediate attention, as these structural defects could compromise the vehicle's safety and legal compliance. A thorough physical inspection is essential to determine if the vehicle meets the current MOT standards, particularly given the history of two failures and the accumulation of wear on components like the undertray and undertray fitted items.
