2015 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Diesel · SA61 AAA

The 2026‑02‑06 MOT at 121,430 miles confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy, though the test recorded near‑limit tyre wear on both front wheels and a non‑functional washer, which are minor defects that can be remedied before the next inspection. The recurring tyre wear and washer failure indicate a pattern of basic maintenance being overlooked, but no escalation of structural or mechanical faults is evident when compared with earlier records. Mileage has risen from 48,593 miles in March 2018 to 121,430 miles in February 2026, an average increase of roughly 9,100 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 2015 model but shows a noticeable acceleration between 2023 and 2025, when the odometer climbed 19,138 miles in just eleven months. No MOT entries exist for 2024, suggesting the vehicle may have been taken out of service for a period, though the overall trajectory remains steady. A prospective buyer should first examine the front tyres for tread depth and edge wear, verify that the washer system is operational, and inspect the suspension components highlighted in earlier tests – the upper and lower strut pins, ball joints and anti‑roll bar linkage for excessive play or worn bushes. The rear brake discs, noted as pitted and scored in 2021, should be measured for thickness and checked for corrosion, while the subframe mounting area recorded at 116,663 miles warrants a close look for any new rust or structural compromise. Confirming that previous advisories have been addressed will indicate whether the owner has maintained the vehicle adequately.
