2016 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.6L Petrol · LS66 JWF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test in December 2025 at 95,208 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record indicates a pattern of minor reactive repairs to meet compliance standards. While the failure in December 2025 involved only headlamp aim adjustments, the issues were rectified immediately to secure a pass, suggesting the owner addresses specific MOT-related defects rather than allowing mechanical faults to persist. At 95,208 miles over ten years, the car averages approximately 9,500 miles per annum, which aligns closely with typical UK usage for its age. There is a significant gap in mileage between the November 2023 test at 86,590 miles and the January 2025 test at 87,528 miles, representing only 938 miles driven over sixteen months. This period of low use can lead to accelerated degradation of rubber components and seals despite the low mileage. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system, as the January 2025 test flagged both rear discs as worn, pitted, and scored. Although these did not cause a failure at that time, the presence of pitting suggests either long periods of stationary or exposure to corrosive road salts. A physical inspection should verify the current condition of the rear discs and pads to ensure the calipers are not seized or binding. Additionally, the excessive tint on the front windows noted in 2025 should be checked to ensure it meets legal visibility requirements and does not obscure the driver during night driving.
