2016 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 2.1L Diesel · RV66 DFY

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on 30 March 2026 at 94,037 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the latest report indicates the beginning of neglect regarding consumable wear. While the tester flagged a nearside rear tyre as worn close to the legal limit and showing slight damage, the previous three tests from 2023 to 2024 showed no mechanical defects or structural failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical annual-use vehicle, averaging approximately 9,400 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of mileage between June 2022 at 52,197 miles and March 2026 at 94,037 miles. A significant jump of 14,475 miles occurred between the April 2025 and March 2026 tests, showing recent increased usage. This regular use suggests the vehicle has been driven consistently rather than sitting for long periods, which often helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and brake seals. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension and wheel alignment, as the 2026 advisory for inner-edge wear on the nearside rear tyre often points to incorrect camber or worn suspension bushes. The windscreen damage noted in 2025 should also be checked to ensure the crack has not developed into the driver's field of vision. Given the vehicle is approaching the 100,000-mile mark, a thorough check of the brake disc thickness and drivetrain condition is advisable, as the MOT record does not cover the internal state of these non-safety components.
