2010 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Petrol · YY10 XDC

The 2010 Mercedes-Benz A-Class presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 13 October 2025 at 71,973 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean annual examinations since the 2022 failure. The vehicle shows no worsening faults or recurring advisories across the available history. Annual mileage remains low for a sixteen-year-old car. The record shows 63,803 miles at the 14 October 2022 pass, rising to 66,933 miles on 9 October 2023, 69,123 miles on 15 October 2024, and 71,973 miles on 13 October 2025. That equates to roughly 2,800 to 3,000 miles per year across the last three intervals. The only anomaly is the 13 October 2022 failure at 63,795 miles, one day before the pass at 63,803 miles, with no defects listed on either entry. This suggests an administrative or data-recording anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Given the clean test history, no specific suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion issues appear in the record. The low mileage and apparent absence of advisories imply the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody for hidden rust, as MOT passes at low mileages can miss early corrosion on standing vehicles. Verify the 2022 dual-entry anomaly with DVSA before purchase. Confirm actual odometer condition and check tyres, wiper blades, and fluid levels, as these consumables fall outside MOT defect scope despite their wear relevance.
