2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Diesel · RF68 VCJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a consistent pattern of deferred basic consumable repairs. The most recent test on 12 May 2026 at 42,887 miles resulted in a failure due to a non-functional rear indicator and stop lamp, alongside worn front tyres. While the vehicle passed the following day after minor repairs, the recurring nature of tyre-related advisories suggests the owner relies on the MOT testing process rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is consistent with a low-mileage urban vehicle, averaging approximately 6,100 miles per year. Between the 32,874 miles in March 2023 and 42,887 miles in May 2026, the car covered roughly 10,000 miles. This low rate of use generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts, as evidenced by the cracking and perishing noted in the May 2025 test. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front suspension and alignment. The record repeatedly flags uneven tyre wear and perishing across almost every test since 2023, which often indicates worn suspension bushes, faulty control arms, or incorrect geometry. You must also verify the condition of the lighting units and wiring looms, as the 2026 failure points to electrical inconsistencies or bulb failures. Given the low mileage, checking for brake disc corrosion and fluid degradation is also advisable to ensure the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods between uses.
