2017 MERCEDES-BENZ A-CLASS1.5L Diesel

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test conducted on 29 April 2025 at 52,117 miles recorded no defects or advisories, indicating a stable mechanical condition. This trend of perfect scores suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained and has not suffered from recurring structural or mechanical failures common in cars of this age. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,800 miles per annum. There is a visible gap in records between January 2020 and January 2022, where the car covered only 14,133 miles over two years. Since 2022, the usage has increased more steadily, covering 25,225 miles between the January 2022 and April 2025 tests. This low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and braking components, though it can occasionally lead to perish of rubber-based parts if the car sat for extended periods. While the MOT record shows no flagged faults, a buyer should perform a physical inspection for signs of age-related degradation. Dry rubber bushes in the suspension and perished tyre sidewalls often affect low-mileage vehicles that sit frequently. Check the brake discs for corrosion or pitting, as infrequent use can lead to surface rust that affects performance. The lack of structural advisories in the history suggests the chassis remains sound and free from significant corrosion.
