Our Verdict
A solid purchase option for those seeking a diesel hatchback with a consistent inspection record. The vehicle has demonstrated a clean history across five consecutive MOT tests.
When inspecting this specific 1.5L diesel A-Class, verify the service history to ensure oil changes have been performed at the correct intervals, as diesel engines are sensitive to maintenance. Check for any signs of recent work on the braking system or suspension, even though no defects were noted in the MOT history.
Negotiate based on the upcoming service requirements. While the MOT history is clean, the mileage of over 75,000 miles suggests that certain wear-and-tear items, such as tyres or brake pads, may be approaching the end of their service life. Ask for proof of any recent major servicing to complement the clean MOT record.
The 1461cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency, typically offering good fuel economy for long-distance commuters. Tax bands for this era of A-Class vary depending on specific CO2 emissions, so buyers should check the exact VED rate for this registration.
Insurance groups for the A-Class are generally mid-range, and maintenance costs should reflect a premium brand. Expect typical diesel maintenance costs, including periodic DPF considerations. The estimated annual running cost is roughly £1,100-£1,400 depending on annual mileage and driving style.
Although the MOT history for A10MAX shows no recorded defects or failures since 2021, you should still inspect the vehicle for common diesel-related issues such as any signs of exhaust leaks or DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) concerns.
Check the condition of the blue paintwork for any chips or scratches and inspect the interior for wear, particularly on the driver's seat bolster. Ensure all electronic components, which are extensive in this model, are functioning correctly, as MOT tests do not cover all electrical systems.
This 2017 blue Mercedes-Benz A-Class has covered 75,573 miles as of its last test in October 2025. The vehicle's MOT history shows five consecutive passes since 2021, notably with no defects or advisories recorded in any of those tests. Given its 1.5L diesel engine, it appears to have been used for regular motorway or long-distance driving, evidenced by the steady mileage increase.
No aggregate MOT data is available for this specific Mercedes-Benz A-Class model to provide a comparative reliability rating.
