2015 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 2.1L Diesel · OV65 NWZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT on 28 April 2026 at 85,732 miles. The maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs where the owner addresses specific failures immediately following testing. While the test just one day prior revealed structural fractures in both the nearside and offside front wheels alongside a worn offside front tyre, the subsequent rectification of these issues indicates that the vehicle is being brought up to legal standards when prompted. At 11 years old, the recorded mileage of 85,732 miles represents an average of approximately 7,800 miles per year. This is consistent with typical UK usage patterns, suggesting the car has not been subjected to excessive long-distance stress. The data shows consistent intervals between tests, with a 3,600-mile gap between April 2023 and October 2024, and another 3,000 miles covered since the most recent pass. This steady accumulation suggests a regular use cycle rather than long periods of stationary neglect. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the wheels to ensure the fractured rims identified in the April 2026 failure were replaced with sound units rather than repaired. Given the previous failure for uneven tyre wear on the offside, a check of the front suspension geometry and bushes is necessary to rule out misalignment causing premature wear. The 2024 failure regarding the windscreen washer system is a minor oversight, but it highlights a need for thorough pre-test checks for basic consumables to ensure the vehicle is fully functional before returning to the tester.
