2014 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Diesel · WM64 TZX

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT with a pass certificate issued on 6 January 2026 at 55,416 miles, indicating it meets the minimum legal roadworthiness standard. The maintenance trend shows a stable but concerning pattern of recurring minor advisories related to consumable items, specifically tyres and brake components, rather than a resolution of issues. No test has resulted in a failure, but the repetition of similar defects suggests a degree of neglect in proactive upkeep. The recorded mileage of 55,416 over approximately 12 years averages a low 4,618 miles annually. The MOT history demonstrates consistent annual testing from 2021 through to December 2024, with a subsequent test in January 2026 after a 13-month gap. The mileage increment from 50,736 miles in December 2024 to 55,416 miles in January 2026 represents approximately 4,680 miles covered in that period, which is higher than the long-term average and may indicate a recent change in usage pattern or a period of more intensive driving prior to the latest test. A buyer must physically inspect the offside rear door for the noted slight accident damage, assessing for proper panel alignment, paintwork integrity, and any underlying structural compromise. The recurring advisories on front tyre edge wear (2022, 2024) and rear brake disc wear (2023) warrant close examination. Check the front tyres for uneven wear patterns that could indicate worn suspension bushes or incorrect tracking, and measure the rear brake disc thickness against the manufacturer’s minimum specification. The brake disc advisories, while noting non-excessive wear, should prompt a check for binding calipers or uneven pad wear. Given the vehicle’s age, a thorough inspection for hidden corrosion around the sills, wheel arches, and under the car is essential, as MOT corrosion checks are visual and limited to specific areas.
