Our Verdict
This 2014 Mercedes-Benz A-Class diesel represents a reasonable buy in the used market, with an MOT record showing straightforward pass results after minor advisories. The recent successful tests in November 2025 indicate the vehicle is currently roadworthy. Buyers should still verify the diesel variant's specific maintenance history given its age and mileage.
Given that both MOT failures show 'No defects recorded', it is worth asking the seller directly what caused the failures and what remedial work was carried out between the failed and passed tests. The very short gap between the November 2025 fail (11th) and pass (11th) suggests minor items were addressed. Diesel A-Class models from this era are known for their efficiency but require diligence around the diesel particulate filter, AdBlue system, and dual-clutch automatic gearbox (if fitted). Request evidence of cambelt and service intervals being adhered to, particularly the diesel-specific service schedule. A pre-purchase inspection by a Mercedes specialist or independent garage familiar with the A-Class is highly advisable. Negotiate based on the approaching 100,000-mile threshold, as some buyers and dealers use this as a psychological and mechanical benchmark.
The 1,461cc diesel engine in the A-Class typically returns 60-70 mpg on a combined cycle, making it economical for commuters and motorway drivers. Road tax for this Euro 6 diesel will be modest, though diesels generally sit in higher insurance groups than petrol equivalents — expect insurance group 15-20 depending on specification. Annual maintenance costs for an 11-year-old A-Class typically run £400-£600 for routine servicing, with larger items such as brake discs, tyres, and timing belt replacement adding to costs as the vehicle ages. Estimated annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance fall in the £1,200-£1,500 range, though this varies significantly with mileage and driving style. The diesel variant commands better fuel economy but may face higher repair costs if the DPF or AdBlue system requires attention.
Although the MOT records show no advisories or defects on the failure notices, the absence of detail is unusual and warrants direct questioning of the seller. Physically inspect the tyres, headlamps, and brake discs — the three most common A-Class MOT failure points according to aggregate records of 262,402 vehicles. Check the condition of the undertray and engine covers, as diesel A-Class models can suffer from oil leaks around the turbo and injector area. Inspect the exhaust system for signs of corrosion, particularly at joints and the DPF mounting points. Verify the operation of all electrical systems, including the infotainment screen and COMAND unit, as these can be costly to repair. Finally, examine the bodywork for rust along the wheel arches and door bottoms, which are known weak points on W176-generation A-Class models.
This silver A-Class has accumulated 95,417 miles across approximately 11 years of use, equating to roughly 8,675 miles annually — modestly above the Mercedes-Benz A-Class average of 7,361 miles per year. The MOT history shows five recorded tests between 2023 and 2025, with two failures recorded in late 2024 and late 2025, though both were followed by passes within days and no defects were recorded on the failure notices. The 1,461cc diesel engine is a popular variant in the A-Class range, suited to buyers prioritising fuel economy over outright performance.
Based on aggregate MOT data across 262,402 Mercedes-Benz A-Class vehicles, the model achieves an 82.1% pass rate, which is broadly in line with the UK average for vehicles of similar age. The top failure categories — tyres, headlamps, and brake discs — are largely consumable items rather than indicative of fundamental mechanical weakness.
