2021 Mercedes-Benz A 1.9L Diesel · SA71 ABN

The vehicle presented a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 29 May 2025 at 38,987 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the prior test on 4 June 2024 also passed without advisory. A curious entry shows a failure on the same date and mileage with no defects listed; this points to an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a worsening condition. As of 14 July 2026, this test is over thirteen months old and the annual certificate has likely expired. Mileage data reveals a two-phase usage pattern. In the first recorded test on 4 June 2024, the odometer read 17,241 miles, implying light use since the 2021 manufacture. By 29 May 2025 the reading had climbed to 38,987 miles, a gain of 21,746 miles in under twelve months. This accelerated accumulation suggests a change in ownership or commuting profile rather than steady private use. The sparse record shows only two annual inspections, both clean, so no consumable wear or structural issues were formally logged. With no advisories or faults in the official history, the buyer should still perform a physical check of high-wear components that the spike in mileage may have stressed. Inspect tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, brake disc thickness and caliper operation, and front suspension bushes for deterioration. Examine exhaust emissions via a fresh test, and assess chassis corrosion on sills and subframes despite the absence of recorded rust. The duplicate failure entry warrants a request for the original test certificate to confirm no hidden rectification.
