Our Verdict
A solid consideration for those needing a diesel hatchback, provided the high mileage is acceptable. The recent MOT history is clean, showing no defects in the most recent tests.
Given the vehicle has nearly reached the 100,000-mile milestone, your primary focus should be on verifying the service history for major component replacements. For a 1.5L diesel Mercedes of this age, check if the timing belt/chain and water pump have been addressed.
When negotiating, use the high mileage as a lever, as this vehicle has travelled much more than the typical example of its age. Ask for documentation regarding recent brake work or tyre replacements, as these are common failure points for this model type across the wider Mercedes-Benz A-Class fleet.
As a 1461cc diesel, this A-Class is designed for efficiency, making it suitable for longer motorway journeys. Tax and insurance groups for this specific engine size are generally moderate, though insurance can vary depending on the driver's profile.
Maintenance costs for Mercedes-Benz vehicles can be higher than mainstream brands. Expect to budget for more frequent servicing intervals and potentially higher costs for specialist parts. Annual running costs, including fuel, tax, and routine maintenance, are estimated to be in the mid-range for a premium hatchback.
While the most recent MOTs show no defects, you should pay close attention to the tyres and headlamps during a physical inspection, as these are identified as top failure reasons for this model in aggregate data.
Check the brake discs and pads thoroughly, as the model's history suggests these are frequent areas of concern. Additionally, given the 99,945 miles recorded, inspect the suspension components and any signs of fluid leaks from the engine bay to ensure the vehicle has been maintained according to manufacturer schedules.
This 2014 silver Mercedes-Benz A-Class has covered 99,945 miles since its first registration in October 2014. While the mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 7,361 miles per year, the vehicle has maintained a consistent MOT record with no defects noted in the last two successful tests. The history shows one failure in August 2024, but the vehicle has since passed without recorded issues.
The A-Class shows an average MOT pass rate of 82.1% across the dataset, with common issues relating to tyres, headlamps, and brake discs.
