2016 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Diesel · NB65 SYD

The most recent MOT on 2026-02-20 recorded a pass with a note that the offside front tyre was worn close to the legal limit and showed edge wear. This aligns with repeated tyre-related issues in earlier MOTs, including near-limit wear on both front tyres in 2025-02-20 (passed and failed entries). Tyre condition has been a recurring concern, suggesting potential neglect or consistent heavy use. A 2025-02-20 failed MOT highlighted multiple issues: windscreen damage (non-visual hazard), ineffective offside windscreen wiper, and deteriorated anti-roll bar linkage dust covers. These indicate aging components and possible exposure to harsh conditions. The same date also showed front tyre wear, reinforcing the pattern of tyre degradation. Brake-related issues emerged in 2024-02-08 (thin front brake pads) and 2023-02-11 (corroded rear brake pipes). While these were addressed in subsequent MOTs, the presence of corrosion and wear suggests possible exposure to moisture or inadequate maintenance. No brake-related failures have been recorded recently, but the historical data implies ongoing maintenance needs. The vehicle’s mileage of 106,082 miles over 10 years equates to roughly 10,608 miles per year, which is typical for its age.
