2015 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Diesel · SC10 GGY

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT test in March 2026 at 131,452 miles with no recorded defects. This represents an improving trend compared to the previous two years, where the car failed in both 2024 and 2025 due to minor mechanical and consumable issues. The transition from multiple failures to a defect-free pass indicates that the owner has addressed the previously flagged faults, specifically the steering components and tyre condition that were identified during the earlier inspections. At 131,452 miles over 11 years, the A-Class averages approximately 11,950 miles per annum. This figure aligns closely with typical UK annual usage for a diesel vehicle of this age, suggesting consistent long-distance use rather than long periods of inactivity. The gap of 12,134 miles recorded between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 11,017 miles between February 2025 and March 2026, confirms a steady and predictable mileage pattern. This consistent use reduces the likelihood of seized components related to standing still, though it places standard wear demands on the drivetrain and suspension. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry, given the history of recurring issues. The tester flagged play in the offside front wheel bearing in 2024 and a worn offside front track rod end joint in 2025. While these were reportedly rectified, the buyer should check for any remaining play in the steering rack or knocking noises when traversing uneven road surfaces. The repeated mention of tyres worn on the edges in 2024 also suggests potential alignment issues or worn shock absorbers, which should be visually verified to prevent premature wear on new rubber.
