2019 Mercedes-Benz A 1.5L Diesel · PV02 FOX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 24 March 2026 at 101,023 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the recorded failures are limited to minor electrical issues rather than mechanical or structural defects. The failures in the two previous tests regarding the nearside stop lamp and the registration plate lamp were promptly rectified, suggesting the owner is responsive to basic safety testing requirements and maintains a passing certificate. At seven years old with 101,023 miles, this Mercedes-Benz has covered significantly above the average distance, averaging approximately 14,400 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage, particularly in the interval between December 2024 and December 2025, where the vehicle covered over 16,000 miles in just twelve months. This high rate of accumulation puts increased stress on wear components, specifically the drivetrain, braking system, and suspension geometry, which require more frequent monitoring than lower-mileage examples. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension components in person, as the December 2024 test flagged play in the offside front suspension arm ball joint. While this was noted, the high mileage suggests that other bushings, tie rod ends, and shocks may be nearing the end of their service life. Check for uneven wear on the brake discs and calipers, as the high mileage profile often leads to accelerated thinning or potential caliper sticking that is not always captured during a standard MOT inspection.
