2017 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 2.1L Diesel · AP17 RFN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent passing record over the last several years. The most recent test conducted in November 2025 at 68,007 miles resulted with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. This follows a clean pass in 2023 and 2022, suggesting that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a high standard and avoided recurring mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per annum. Between November 2022 at 48,724 miles and November 2025 at 68,007 miles, the car covered 19,283 miles. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to rubber degradation or seized brake components. The brief failure in November 2024 at 62,466 miles appears to be an isolated incident, as the vehicle passed the retest just two miles later without any subsequent advisories being raised. While the history is remarkably clean, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of the suspension components and brake hardware. Given the age of the vehicle relative to the mileage, it is prudent to check for minor cracking in rubber control arm bushes and any signs of surface pitting on the brake discs. Since the MOT record shows no prior structural advisories for corrosion, the underbody should be inspected for sills and wheel arches to ensure no hidden rust has developed since the last clean test.
