2016 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 2.0L Petrol · N50 NAR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass on December 10, 2025, 88,921 miles. The overall maintenance trend appears stable despite a significant failure just one day prior at 88,900 miles. That failure revealed three critical safety issues, including both front tyres with exposed ply and cords and a fractured nearside rear coil spring. The fact that the owner addressed these defects immediately within twenty-four hours suggests a proactive approach to urgent MOT failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,900 miles per year. Between December 2022 and December 2025, the car covered 21,665 miles, indicating a steady usage profile. The recent jump from 81,563 miles in November 2024 to 88,921 miles in December 2025 shows a slight increase in annual mileage, which typically accelerates the wear on rubber components and suspension systems. A buyer should perform a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry to ensure no further springs are signs of failing. While the nearside rear spring was replaced, the offside equivalent should be checked for stress fractures or corrosion. Given the previous failure of both front tyres due to exposed cords, the age and condition of the current tyres are vital to verify as not nearing the end of their structural life. The lack of advisories in the previous three tests suggests the vehicle has generally been in good mechanical condition regarding structural integrity and brake components.
