2016 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 2.1L Diesel · OO12 ACK

This vehicle presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 27 December 2025 at 74,153 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over several years, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance and a vehicle that has been kept in good mechanical order. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a ten year old car, averaging roughly 7,415 miles per year. The distance covered between the January 2023 test at 42,796 miles and the December 2025 test at 74,153 miles shows a steady increase of approximately 11,000 miles annually. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or long periods of stagnation that would suggest neglect or hidden drivetrain issues. The history is remarkably devoid of recurring mechanical faults. The only anomaly occurred on 22 December 2023, where the car failed its test at 51,778 miles, only to pass the following day at 51,795 miles. The lack of specific defect data for that failure makes it difficult to diagnose the exact cause, but the immediate resolution indicates a prompt repair. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on common age-related wear items that MOT testers often overlook if they are not yet at a legal limit. This includes checking the condition of the suspension bushes and the depth of the tyre treads. While the record shows no structural corrosion or brake issues, a manual check for binding calipers or worn brake discs is advisable given the car has now surpassed 70,000 miles.
