2015 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 2.1L Diesel · PK65 RXS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in December 2025 with 80,827 miles and no recorded defects. However, the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. While the most recent test is clean, the previous failure in December 2024 indicates a period where critical safety components, specifically tyre structural integrity and suspension bushings, were only addressed after the vehicle failed to meet minimum standards. At 80,827 miles over 11 years, the A-Class averages approximately 7,350 miles per year, which aligns with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent use, with roughly 5,000 miles covered between the December 2023 and December 2024 tests, and another 5,162 miles leading into the 2025 test. This steady mileage suggests the car is not being sat for, though the age of the rubber components remains evident despite the moderate mileage. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension, as records show recurring issues with anti-roll bar link ball joint dust covers across the 2023 and 2024 tests. These rubber components often lead to premature knocks and uneven tyre wear if not replaced. The history also highlights persistent inner edge tyre wear and rim damage, which frequently points to incorrect alignment settings or worn suspension bushes. You should verify that the front alignment has been professionally adjusted to prevent further degradation of any newly fitted tyres. The braking system also warrants scrutiny. The 2024 test noted rear brake pads at 65% wear alongside worn discs, following an advisory for a pitted rear disc in early 2023. While the vehicle passed the latest test, the recurring mention of brake wear suggests the rear components may be nearing the end of their functional life. Check for thin discs or uneven pads during a physical inspection to ensure the previous wear issues were fully rectified rather than merely patched.
