2015 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Diesel · SF65 YBC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in November 2025 at 49,782 miles passed despite front tyres being worn close to the legal limit with uneven wear on both edges. This follows a pattern of neglected consumable maintenance seen in the December 2022 test where front tyres were also flagged as being very close to the limit. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. Between November 2021 at 26,107 miles and November 2024 at 41,493 miles, the car covered roughly 15,000 miles. While this low usage suggests less strain on the drivetrain and engine, long periods between driving can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and seals, which is consistent with the recurring issues with tyre wear noted in the later records. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and tyre condition. The 2023 test at 35,470 miles identified both front and rear brake pads as wearing thin, and the uneven wear reported on the front tyres in 2025 suggests potential wheel alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. Verify the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as low-mileage vehicles that sit frequently often suffer from seized calipers. The recurring presence of child seats preventing full belt inspections means the buyer must manually check the rear seatbelt tensioning mechanisms to ensure they are functional and free of damage.
