Our Verdict
A sensible purchase for those seeking a
When inspecting this specific A-Class, pay close attention to the tyre condition. The MOT history shows two consecutive years of tyre-related issues, including wear on edges and damage, which may suggest alignment issues or uneven driving habits. Check the tread depth across all four tyres, not just the front ones.
Given the 1.5L diesel engine, you should request evidence of regular oil changes and check for any signs of soot buildup or fluid leaks. While the 2025 MOT was clean, always verify that the service intervals have been met, as the mileage is significantly higher than the statistical average for this model.
The 1461cc diesel engine is typically efficient for long-distance driving, though running costs will depend on your specific insurance group and tax band. Expect moderate maintenance costs, though be aware that tyre replacements have appeared as a recurring theme in its MOT history.
Annual running costs are estimated to be in the mid-range for a premium hatchback. You should budget for regular diesel fuel costs and standard servicing, keeping in mind that higher mileage vehicles may require more frequent brake or suspension component checks.
Focus your inspection on the wheel alignment and suspension components. The 2024 MOT noted both nearside and offside front tyres were worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges, which can be a symptom of incorrect tracking or worn suspension bushings.
Additionally, check the condition of the tyres for any sidewall damage, following the 'slightly damaged' advisory noted in the 2023 test. Finally, ensure the windscreen wipers and headlamps are functioning correctly, as these are common failure points for this model according to aggregate data.
This 2017 grey Mercedes-Benz A-Class has covered 90,870 miles as of its last MOT in November 2025. The vehicle shows a pattern of tyre-related advisories and defects in 2023 and 2024, but it passed its most recent inspection with no recorded defects. The mileage is higher than the model average of 7,336 miles per year, reflecting its use as a diesel commuter.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 82.2% MOT pass rate, with common failures related to tyres, wipers, and headlamps.
