2010 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Petrol · T2 SWG

This vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 9 March 2026 at 74,340 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting the car is being kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards. The mileage is notably low for a 2010 model, averaging roughly 4,646 miles per year. Between 5 March 2024 and 9 March 2026, the vehicle covered 8,367 miles, indicating steady but light usage. The record shows two instances where the vehicle failed its initial test on the same day it passed, specifically on 5 March 2024 and 5 March 2025. While the reasons for these failures are not detailed in the provided data, the immediate rectification suggests a proactive approach to required repairs. A buyer should focus on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Low-use vehicles often suffer from perished rubber seals, seized brake calipers, or flat-spotted tyres. Given the age of the car and the lack of recorded advisories, it is prudent to check for structural corrosion on the chassis and sills. Inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, as these components often fail due to age rather than wear. Verify the service history to ensure the engine oil and coolant have been changed regularly. Long periods of inactivity or low annual mileage can lead to sludge buildup or coolant degradation. Check for any signs of moisture in the brake fluid and ensure the battery holds a strong charge, as these are common weak points for cars with this specific usage profile.
