2017 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 2.1L Diesel · AD55 LAW

The vehicle presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 2025-09-22 at 100,562 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults logged at any stage. The September 2025 pass came three days after a failed attempt on 2025-09-19 at 100,407 miles, though the failure entry shows no defects recorded, indicating an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a worn component. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a 2017 registered car, averaging roughly 11,174 miles per year to reach 100,562 miles. The record moves from 73,893 miles in the November 2023 test to 87,679 miles by October 2024, then to 100,562 miles by September 2025. This reflects steady annual use of around 13,000 miles with no standing periods or sudden accumulation spikes. The October 2024 entry shows both a fail and pass on the same day at identical mileage, again with no defects cited, pointing to paperwork rather than workshop intervention. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the age and six-figure mileage, even though the MOT record flags none of these. The clean advisory history suggests previous owners addressed consumables before each test or the car saw gentle use, but absence of recorded corrosion or exhaust emissions issues does not confirm structural integrity beneath sills and subframes. Given the twin same-day fail and pass pairs in 2024 and 2025 with zero defects, verify the V5C and DVSA status to rule out clerical anomalies. The mechanical evidence supports a sound purchase subject to a routine pre-sale check of tyres, wiper blades and underbody condition.
