2017 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.6L Petrol · CY17 FHS

The vehicle presents as roadworthy following the most recent DVSA test on 8 January 2026 at 62,895 miles, where the tester issued a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every annual examination from January 2023 through to January 2026 returning a clean result. A failed entry logged on 8 January 2026 at the same mileage and with no defects recorded sits alongside a pass on the identical date, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage averages close to 7,000 miles against the car's nine-year life, a typical use profile for a 2017 Mercedes-Benz A-Class. The record shows steady accumulation: 39,219 miles at the January 2023 test, rising to 47,716 by January 2024, 55,936 by January 2025, and 62,895 by January 2026. No gap or sudden spike appears in the data, and the sparse five-entry history carries no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean MOT trail. The absence of advisories means worn coil springs, binding calipers, or early subframe corrosion were not flagged, but the tests occurred only once per year and would not capture intermittent faults. Check brake disc thickness, suspension arm condition, and underbody structural integrity for hidden rust given the car's age. The duplicate 8 January 2026 entries with a fail and pass at matching mileage warrant a glance at the DVSA portal to confirm the rejection cause was paperwork, not a concealed defect. Otherwise the vehicle's recorded care suggests a conscientious keeper who addressed issues before each test.
