2016 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 2.0L Petrol · US04 DAW

The vehicle currently maintains a clean roadworthiness status, showing a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted in December 2025 at 50,814 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car is meeting all statutory safety standards. While there was a recorded failure in December 2024, the issue was rectified immediately as the vehicle passed the retest just three miles later, suggesting the owner is proactive in addressing mechanical faults identified by the tester. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. Between the September 2023 test at 37,400 miles and the December 2025 test at 50,814 miles, the car covered 13,414 miles, representing consistent but light usage. This low annual mileage typically results in less wear on the drivetrain and engine components. However, such low mileage on vehicles of this age can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components or brake corrosion if the car sits stationary for long periods between uses. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on signs of age rather than high-mileage wear. Although the MOT history shows no recurring structural issues, the low usage warrants a close check for pitting on brake discs and seized calipers, which often occur when vehicles are not driven frequently. Inspect the suspension bushes and tyres for cracking or dry rot, as these materials perish over time regardless of the distance driven. The lack of advisories in the last three tests suggests the vehicle has been kept in good condition, but a visual check of the underbody for surface corrosion remains necessary to ensure the structural integrity remains sound.
