2017 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Diesel · CU57 ADA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT history. The October 2025 test at 81,556 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded, suggesting that previous mechanical issues have been addressed. While the vehicle has experienced minor setbacks regarding consumables and suspension, the current status indicates the car is in a compliant state. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. A notable increase in usage occurred between March 2024 and March 2025, where the mileage rose from 62,085 to 78,602, representing a jump of over 16,000 miles in a single year. This period of higher utilization aligns with the subsequent appearance of tyre wear issues. Prior to 2024, the mileage increments were significantly lower and more gradual. The MOT history highlights specific areas of concern regarding suspension and tyre maintenance. In March 2024, the tester flagged a fractured nearside rear coil spring, which required rectification to pass the test. The March 2025 inspection revealed that both front tyres were worn close to the legal limit and showed edge wear, alongside a cut on the offside front tyre. This pattern suggests that while major components like coil springs are being maintained, the owner may occasionally neglect routine consumable replacements. A prospective buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the suspension components and the current condition of all four tyres. Given the previous failure of the nearside rear coil spring, checking for any signs of uneven ride height or knocking noises from the suspension would be prudent. It is also advisable to inspect the front tyre tread and sidewalls to ensure the wear issues noted in March 2025 have been fully resolved with fresh rubber.
