2015 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Diesel · MS02 BAY

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection on 6 March 2026 at 82,892 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record reveals a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. In both 2025 and 2026, the car failed the test just a few miles before a successful result, suggesting that minor issues were identified and rectified quickly to meet DVSA requirements. The mileage profile is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per annum. Between March 2024 at 73,212 miles and February 2025 at 79,701 miles, the car covered roughly 6,500 miles, indicating steady but light usage. The jump of 3,191 miles between February 2025 and March 2026 shows recent activity. This low annual mileage generally reduces the wear on the drivetrain and rubber-based suspension components compared to high-mileage counterparts. While the recent tests show no outstanding advisories or defects, buyers should investigate the specific nature of the failures recorded in 2025 and 2026. Since these failures occurred within eight miles of a pass, they likely involved simple items such as light bulbs, wiper blades, or minor fluid leaks rather than structural decay. A physical inspection should still focus on the condition of the suspension bushes and brake discs, as low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from corrosion or seized calipers if they sit stationary for long periods between tests.
