2014 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Diesel · OU14 VOD

This vehicle demonstrates an exceptionally stable maintenance trend and is currently roadworthy. The most recent MOT test on 3 January 2026 at 130,557 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to May 2022, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance or a vehicle that has been meticulously kept. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the car, averaging roughly 10,880 miles per year. There is a notable increase in usage between January 2025 and January 2026, where the odometer rose by 15,951 miles in a single year. This represents a significant jump compared to the 9,680 miles added between May 2023 and May 2024. Such a spike in annual mileage often accelerates the wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear consumables. The lack of recorded advisories over five years is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. You should manually check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake discs for lip wear or corrosion. Pay close attention to the suspension coil springs and rubber bushings, as these typically degrade around the 130,000-mile mark regardless of MOT outcomes. Verify the service history to ensure the oil and filter changes align with the mileage jumps. While the DVSA records show no structural failures or exhaust emissions issues, a physical check for underbody corrosion is advised given the vehicle's twelve-year age. The absence of recorded faults suggests a well-maintained example, but the recent increase in mileage makes a thorough check of the gearbox and clutch operation essential.
