2016 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Diesel · SM16 DCU

The 2025‑06‑06 MOT at 89,029 miles passed with no defects, confirming a stable maintenance record. Earlier tests in May 2024 and June 2023 also passed without recorded faults, indicating consistent mechanical condition over the past three years. Mileage has risen from 97,904 miles in May 2022 to 127,137 miles in May 2024, a gain of roughly 29,233 miles over two years, or about 14,600 miles per year, before dropping to 89,029 miles in June 2025, a decrease of 38,108 miles that suggests either an odometer discrepancy or extended periods of inactivity. The average annual mileage of 8,903 miles aligns with typical usage for a ten‑year‑old vehicle. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, test the brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, inspect tyre tread depth and condition, and look for structural rust around the wheel arches and chassis rails, as these components commonly show signs of use at this mileage. Although the MOT history shows no recorded faults, a thorough physical inspection is essential to verify that the recorded cleanliness reflects genuine mechanical soundness, especially given the vehicle’s age and the mileage fluctuations.
