2016 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 2.1L Diesel · SV16 ADC

The 2016 Mercedes-Benz A-Class is presently roadworthy, as confirmed by the latest DVSA MOT on 17 October 2025 at 78,859 miles, which recorded a pass with no defects and the maintenance trend remains stable. Mileage has risen from 49,954 miles in November 2022 to 78,859 miles in October 2025, averaging about 7,900 miles per year, a rate consistent with normal use for a ten‑year‑old vehicle. The annual testing interval from 2022 through 2025, punctuated only by a single failure on 11 October 2024 that was subsequently passed on 17 October 2024 after covering ten miles, shows a stable maintenance pattern without evidence of accelerating wear. A buyer should therefore focus on the mechanical components that typically exhibit wear in this model: suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking or corrosion, binding rear brake calipers and condition of brake discs, and the integrity of the chassis and wheel arches for rust. Although the MOT history lists no specific defects, a physical inspection of these areas, together with a review of tyre tread depth and exhaust condition, will verify that the recorded pass reflects genuine mechanical health.
