2006 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Petrol · SW56 CHJ

The vehicle is presently road‑worthy, having passed its most‑recent MOT on 22 November 2025 at 72,152 miles with no defects recorded. The recent history shows a stable maintenance pattern; recurring tyre‑nail advisories and occasional fuel‑pipe corrosion have been addressed without escalation, and no new structural or safety‑critical failures have emerged. Mileage averages roughly 3,600 miles per year, well below the typical usage for a 20‑year‑old car, indicating light duty or periods of inactivity. Early records reveal incremental growth of 1,000 miles or less per annum from 2012 through 2019, suggesting consistent but modest use. A notable surge occurs between 4 December 2024 and 22 November 2025, where mileage jumps from 47,561 to 72,152 miles—a rise of over 24,500 miles in less than a year, implying a period of intensive travel or a delayed recording of mileage. Apart from that interval, the log remains sparse but clean, with no gaps indicating unrecorded mileage. A prospective buyer should give close attention to the tyre condition, confirming that the rear tyres are free of nails, sidewall perishing, and exposed cords, as these issues have recurred in several tests. Inspection of the fuel‑pipe filler assemblies for corrosion is advisable, given the repeated advisory on that component from 2021 through 2023. The under‑trays fitted in 2013 and 2014 obscure part of the underside; a visual check for rust or damage beneath them is prudent. While brakes and suspension have not been flagged, a routine examination of brake discs, pads, and suspension bushes will verify that wear remains within safe limits.
