2017 MERCEDES-BENZ A-CLASS1.8L Petrol

The vehicle presents as roadworthy following the most recent MOT test on 23 December 2025 at 57,811 miles, which recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable, with the only blemish being a failed test on 9 December 2025 at 57,798 miles that listed no defects, suggesting an administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the car passed cleanly in November 2024 at 49,294 miles and in October 2023 at 40,356 miles, after an earlier same-day failure on 25 October 2023 at 40,355 miles with no defects logged. The history shows no recurring advisories or worsening mechanical condition across the recorded period. The odometer reads 57,811 miles against a nine-year lifespan, equating to roughly 6,400 miles per year and sitting within typical usage for a 2017 Mercedes-Benz A-Class. Mileage progressed from 40,355 in October 2023 to 49,294 by November 2024, then to 57,798 by December 2025, reflecting steady annual accumulation of around 8,000 to 9,000 miles in the later years. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, with no advisories on tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes, or corrosion across any entry, which indicates either conscientious upkeep or limited inspection depth at the testing stations. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and consumable items not captured by the clean record. The two defect-free failures dated 25 October 2023 and 9 December 2025 warrant scrutiny of the test certificates to confirm no omitted brake binding, exhaust emissions, or coil spring concerns. Given the low overall mileage, rubber components such as suspension mounts and door seals may have aged rather than worn, and standing periods can accelerate perishables despite the favourable MOT trail. Pre-purchase checks should target the front subframe for corrosion, verify pad and disc thickness at all corners, and confirm the tyre sidewalls show no cracking from low-use storage. The absence of recorded advisories does not exempt the vehicle from wear on wiper blades or intermittent electrical faults outside the MOT scope, so a road test remains essential before completion.
