2017 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Diesel · KS66 AAZ

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT history leading up to the most recent inspection. The December 2025 test at 76,621 miles shows a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle met all essential roadworthiness standards at that time. While the record shows a failure on the same date, the lack of specific defect descriptions suggests a potential clerical error or a minor non-compliance that was rectified immediately to secure the pass. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a nine-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 8,513 miles per year, which represents a moderate and predictable wear pattern for a Mercedes-Benz A-Class. The progression from 48,686 miles in January 2023 to 76,621 miles in December 2025 shows steady, incremental usage without any significant periods of long-term storage or excessive high-speed motorway mileage. Because the MOT history is notably clean and lacks advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion, there are no immediate red flags in the official record. However, the absence of recorded advisories does not guarantee the condition of consumable items. A physical inspection should focus on the current state of the tyre tread depth and the condition of the wiper blades, as these are frequently omitted from MOT records if they are near the legal limit but not yet failing. A buyer should also verify the service history to complement this MOT data. While the MOT history confirms the vehicle has been structurally sound and mechanically compliant for its recent tests, it does not account for scheduled maintenance like oil changes or timing belt inspections. Checking the condition of the brake pads and the integrity of the suspension components during a test drive remains a necessary step to confirm the vehicle's actual mechanical health beyond the basic DVSA requirements.
