2014 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Diesel · ST64 ADU

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its most recent 2025-12-10 MOT at 86,236 miles. Previous tests from 2024 to 2022 also passed, though a 2022-11-28 failure at 54,023 miles—despite no defects noted—suggests potential inconsistency in testing or minor unresolved issues. The absence of recurring faults in subsequent inspections indicates effective maintenance, though the 2022 failure warrants scrutiny for underlying concerns. The mileage progression aligns with typical annual usage, averaging ~7,186 miles per year over 12 years. Tests spaced approximately 12 months apart show steady accumulation, with no abrupt spikes or extended gaps that might signal neglect. The 2022-11-28 failure occurred at the same mileage as a prior passed test, raising questions about the cause of the failure. However, the subsequent 2023-12-06 MOT at 64,889 miles confirmed no defects, suggesting resolution of any prior issues. A buyer should inspect suspension components, particularly rear coil springs and bushings, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Brake systems, including discs and calipers, merit attention for wear, as does the exhaust system for corrosion. Structural integrity should be verified, focusing on underbody rust or panel damage. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the 2022 anomaly underscores the need for a pre-purchase inspection to confirm continued reliability.
