2017 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 2.1L Diesel · DN67 AEE

The 2026‑04‑02 MOT at 52,816 miles records a pass with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness. Earlier failures in May 2024 – notably tyre cuts reaching the ply on both front tyres and a worn, pitted offside rear brake disc – were subsequently corrected, indicating an improving maintenance record rather than a worsening trend. The vehicle’s nine‑year age corresponds to an average annual mileage of roughly 5,868 miles, which is low for a 2017 model and suggests periods of limited use. However, mileage accumulation accelerated sharply between June 2023 (25,259 miles) and June 2024 (37,078 miles), a rise of 11,819 miles in one year, before settling to 45,831 miles by June 2025 and 52,816 miles in April 2026. A buyer should therefore scrutinise the condition of the front tyres for the previously noted deep cuts, verify that the offside rear brake disc has been replaced or resurfaced to a sound thickness, and examine the suspension bushes, coil springs and rear brake calipers for binding or excessive wear, as these components were flagged in earlier tests. Finally, a thorough visual inspection for structural rust, particularly around the wheel arches and chassis rails, and a check of the exhaust system for corrosion or leaks are advisable, given the car’s age and the earlier tyre damage that may indicate impact events or neglect of basic upkeep.
