2013 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Diesel · ML03 SAN

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 28 January 2026 at 57,632 miles resulted in no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have proactively managed the vehicle to prevent minor mechanical or structural issues from reaching a failure threshold during the testing process. The mileage profile is notably low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,400 miles per year. However, a significant data anomaly exists in the February 2023 entry, which lists 476,691 miles compared to the 2022 reading of 43,677 miles. This discrepancy is clearly a clerical error by the tester as it is physically impossible to travel over 400,000 miles in a single year. Excluding that outlier, the mileage progression shows steady, realistic increments of roughly 3,000 to 4,000 miles between tests, suggesting short-distance urban use. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer must account for the risks associated with low-mileage vehicles. Cars that sit for long periods or cover minimal distances often suffer from degradation of rubber-based components rather than mechanical wear. A physical inspection should focus on the condition of the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which can crack or perish regardless of low use. Additionally, the brake discs should be checked for surface rust or pitting as infrequent use often leads to accelerated corrosion on the braking surfaces.
