Our Verdict

This Mercedes-Benz A-Class represents a

When inspecting this specific 2.1L diesel model, focus on its service history to ensure the higher-than-average mileage has been met with regular oil changes and component replacements. Since the MOT history shows no recorded defects, you should still manually check for common wear items that often appear in aggregate data for this model, such as tyre tread depth and headlamp clarity.

Negotiate based on the mileage; although the MOT record is clean, 120,276 miles is substantial for a ten-year-old vehicle. Ask for evidence of recent major service intervals, particularly regarding the timing chain or belt, which is critical for diesel engines of this age and mileage.

As a 2143cc diesel, this A-Class is designed for efficient long-distance cruising, though running costs will be influenced by its higher-than-average mileage. Expect moderate fuel economy typical of a premium diesel hatchback.

Tax and insurance will vary depending on the specific trim level and driver profile, but the diesel engine may place it in a specific Euro emission bracket for ULEZ/CAZ compliance. Maintenance costs should be budgeted for higher due to the mileage, specifically for suspension components like coil springs, which are noted as a common failure point for this model aggregate.

Although this specific vehicle has had no MOT failures, the aggregate data for the Mercedes A-Class highlights tyres, headlamps, and coil springs as the most frequent failure reasons. We recommend a thorough check of the tyre condition and ensuring the headlamp alignment and brightness are optimal.

Given the mileage has surpassed 120,000, pay close attention to the suspension and underside for any signs of premature wear. Check the brake discs and pads, as well as the condition of the diesel particulate filter (DPF), which can be sensitive to driving patterns in these engines.

This 2016 blue diesel A-Class has covered 120,276 miles since its first registration in September 2016. The vehicle has a documented history of five consecutive MOT passes without any recorded defects or failures. While the annual mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 7,374 miles, the recent inspection history is notably clean.

The Mercedes A-Class shows an average MOT pass rate of 82.2% across the 262,025 vehicles analysed, with common issues relating to tyres, headlamps, and coil springs.
