2014 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 2.1L Diesel · PJ64 YGD

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz A-Class presents a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 23 May 2025 at 96,667 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior annual examinations in May 2024 at 91,375 miles and May 2023 at 85,991 miles also passed cleanly. The only blemishes are two same-day failures logged on 19 and 23 May 2023, and again on 23 May 2025, where the DVSA system shows a fail and pass at identical mileages with no defects listed. This pattern indicates administrative rejections or data-entry errors rather than mechanical faults, so the underlying condition appears consistent across the recorded history. Mileage has accumulated at a modest average of roughly 8,056 miles per year against the vehicle's twelve-year life, with 96,667 miles shown at the latest test. The step from 85,990 miles on 19 May 2023 to 85,991 miles four days later, then 91,375 miles by May 2024 and 96,667 miles by May 2025, reflects low annual use of around 5,400 to 5,600 miles in the later period. The record is sparse but clean, showing no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions at any stage, which suggests the previous keeper kept the car lightly run and presented it for test without outstanding wear items. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and consumable components, as a clean MOT does not certify component life. Particular attention should go to front coil springs, rear suspension arms, and brake calipers for binding, given these are common wear points on the W176 chassis at this age. Verify the tyre tread depth and wiper condition in person, since these minor items fall outside the recorded advisories yet degrade with low-mileage standing. The duplicated fail and pass entries at 96,667 miles on 23 May 2025 warrant a check of the V5C and DVSA portal to confirm no suppressed defect. Otherwise the vehicle shows no recurring mechanical trend and reads as a low-stress example for its year.
