2014 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.6L Petrol · RE14 KFC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed the most recent MOT on 1 August 2025 at 88,516 miles with no defects recorded. The history shows alternating pass and fail outcomes, yet each test reports zero documented defects, indicating a stable maintenance record rather than a clear improving or worsening trend. Mileage has risen from 44,186 miles in August 2023 to 88,516 miles in August 2025, an increase of 44,330 miles over two years, averaging 22,165 miles per year, which exceeds the typical 7,376 miles per year for a 12‑year‑old vehicle. The interval between the 2023 and 2024 tests covers 12 months and shows a rapid accumulation of 25,556 miles, suggesting the car was driven intensively during that period, while the subsequent year saw a more modest rise of 18,174 miles. A buyer should focus on the suspension components, checking for worn bushes, coil spring fatigue, and any binding rear brakes, as the repeated failures in 2024 and 2025, though defect‑free on paper, may indicate intermittent mechanical stress. Inspection of the brake discs and calipers, assessment of structural rust, and verification of exhaust emissions and structural integrity are also advisable to confirm the vehicle’s long‑term condition.
