2015 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Diesel · PN15 WFA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in basic consumable oversight. The most recent test in February 2026 at 70,188 miles resulted in an initial failure due to a structurally compromised offside front tyre reaching the cords and a nearside front tyre showing uneven wear. While the car passed upon immediate retest, these faults indicate that the owner neglected critical tyre safety and alignment checks prior to the MOT deadline. At 70,188 miles, the car has averaged approximately 6,380 miles per year over its eleven-year life, which is consistent with low-average annual usage. The mileage pattern appears stable between February 2023 and March 2024, where the vehicle covered roughly 3,500 miles. However, the jump of nearly 8,600 miles between March 2024 and February 2026 suggests a recent increase in usage, which correlates with the accelerated degradation of rubber components and tyres noted in the later records. A buyer must prioritize inspecting the front suspension and steering geometry. The recurring inner-edge wear on the nearside tyre in 2026 and the cracking noted in 2025 suggest potential issues with worn bushes, faulty control arms, or incorrect camber settings. You should also check for dry rot across all remaining tyres, as the low annual mileage often leads to rubber hardening and cracking long before the tread depth is exhausted. A physical inspection of the brake discs for pitting or corrosion is also advised to ensure long periods of standing have not caused significant surface damage to the braking system.
