2017 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.6L Petrol · PH11 ADW

The 2017 Mercedes-Benz A-Class presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 June 2025 at 57,794 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes across the available history. No advisories or failures appear in any entry, indicating the vehicle has not required rectification of mechanical or structural faults at official inspection points. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,400 miles per year against the 57,794 recorded, a typical figure for a nine-year-old car. The records show steady accumulation: 22,091 miles in October 2020, 37,407 by July 2022, 44,993 in June 2023, 52,714 in June 2024, and 57,794 in June 2025. A gap exists between the 2020 and 2022 tests spanning roughly 20 months, likely due to pandemic-related test extensions rather than non-use, after which the owner resumed yearly testing without lapse. The clean sheet across all dates suggests consistent, light use and no deferred consumable neglect. Given the absence of flagged defects, the buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear, as MOT passes at low mileages can overlook incipient fatigue not yet at failure thresholds. The tester recorded no corrosion or structural integrity concerns, yet underside protection on a Mercedes of this age warrants physical verification for trapped moisture around sills and subframes. The previous keeper clearly adhered to scheduled testing and maintained the car to pass standard without advisories. A clean nine-year record with no recurring tyre, wiper, or emissions issues implies disciplined upkeep. The buyer should confirm service history matches the odometer and inspect for undocumented accident repair invisible to MOT scrutiny.
