2016 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Diesel · OU16 HTX

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently clean MOT history across the last five tests. The most recent inspection on 10 July 2025 at 45,977 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical and structural components remain within acceptable parameters. This trend suggests a stable maintenance regime where the owner has proactively addressed any minor issues before they escalated into test failures. The mileage pattern is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per annum. Between March 2022 at 28,664 miles and July 2025 at 45,977 miles, the car covered 17,313 miles over three years. The interval between the February 2024 and March 2025 tests shows an accumulation of only 7,544 miles. This low-frequency usage suggests the car has been used for short trips or stood for extended periods, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. While the digital record is flawless, a buyer must inspect for specific issues associated with low-mileage vehicles. Stationary cars often suffer from rubber degradation, meaning suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls may perish despite low tread depth. The brake discs should be checked for corrosion or pitting, as infrequent use can lead to surface rust that seizes the calipers. Additionally, a physical inspection of the chassis and underbody for early-stage structural corrosion is necessary, as the lack of recorded advisories does not entirely guarantee the absence of oxidation in hidden areas.
