2017 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 2.1L Diesel · CV17 NPU

The vehicle presents as roadworthy following the most recent DVSA test on 7 April 2026 at 120,382 miles, which returned a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every annual examination from April 2024 through April 2026 concluding without advisories or noted mechanical faults. The two failed entries logged on 5 April 2024 at 89,414 miles and 7 April 2026 at 120,376 miles carry no defects, indicating administrative or presentation failures rather than mechanical condition issues. Mileage stands at 120,382 against a nine-year lifespan, equating to roughly 13,376 miles per year and placing this A-Class above typical use for its age. The records show consistent annual accumulation: 89,414 miles in April 2024, 102,093 by April 2025, and 120,382 by April 2026. The owner added about 12,700 miles in each intervening year. No standing periods or abrupt jumps appear in the data, and the clean test sheets suggest routine servicing kept pace with the higher-than-average distance. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the elevated mileage and Mercedes wear patterns on the W176 chassis. The MOT history flags no corrosion, exhaust emissions failures, or structural integrity concerns across the three-year span. The absence of advisories on tyres, wiper blades, or binding calipers implies previous keepers addressed consumables before each test rather than leaving them for the tester to note. Given the duplicated fail-and-pass pairs on identical dates and mileages, verify the V5C and DVSA portal to confirm no omitted defect lines exist in the supplied extract. The present evidence supports a sound mechanical baseline, but high annual use warrants scrutiny of drivetrain mounts and steering joints that MOT tests rarely fail on sight.
