2015 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 2.1L Diesel · R121 ABG

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2026‑07‑03 at 132 063 miles, with only a nearside front wheel crack welded recorded. The maintenance trend shows a pattern of prompt correction: a failure on 2025‑07‑11 at 120 090 miles was rectified and the car passed the following day at 120 123 miles. While the car remains roadworthy, the recurrence of drive‑shaft and suspension issues indicates ongoing wear that a buyer should monitor. At 11 years old the car carries 132 063 miles, averaging roughly 12 000 miles per year—considerably higher than typical for a compact class. MOT entries are annual, with a brief two‑day gap between the 2025 failure and pass, suggesting rapid repairs. Mileage progression from 109 142 miles in 2024 to 120 090 miles in 2025 and then to 132 063 miles in 2026 reflects steady annual usage rather than long periods of inactivity. A buyer should inspect the front wheel weld for structural integrity, examine both front and rear constant‑velocity boots for deterioration and oil seepage, and check rear coil springs for corrosion. Tyre condition is critical; front tyres show edge wear, rear tyres have a nail puncture, and overall tread depth is near the legal limit. Verify the windscreen washer reservoir and any child‑seat fittings that may impede belt inspection. Finally, assess suspension bushes and brake components for wear, as the high mileage can affect these systems and may require early attention.
