2017 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Diesel · AB12 YOU

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, evidenced by a clean MOT pass recorded in January 2026 at 86,564 miles where no defects were identified. The maintenance trend appears stable, following a period of failure in early 2025 that was immediately rectified. While the history shows intermittent issues with minor components, the subsequent pass without any advisories suggests the current owner is proactive in addressing safety-related items during the annual testing cycle. At 86,564 miles over nine years, the car has averaged approximately 9,600 miles per year, which aligns closely with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent mileage accumulation, with roughly 11,000 miles covered between January 2024 and January 2025, and another 5,800 miles between early 2025 and early 2026. This regular use suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation which often lead to degradation of rubber components or fluid seals. A buyer should pay close attention to the suspension geometry, as the record reveals a recurring pattern of uneven tyre wear. Faults noted in 2020, 2021, and 2025 specifically highlight tyres being worn on the edge, which frequently indicates misaligned wheel geometry, worn suspension bushes, or failing control arms. A physical inspection should verify if there is excessive play in the steering components to ensure this premature wear is not caused by a deeper mechanical failure that would lead to expensive repairs.
