2017 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Diesel · FV67 HDC

The 2017 Mercedes‑Benz A‑Class is presently roadworthy, as the March 28 2026 MOT at 61,464 miles recorded a pass with no defects. All preceding tests from July 2022 through February 2025 also showed passes with zero recorded failures, indicating a stable maintenance trend rather than any worsening or improving pattern. Mileage has risen from 33,369 miles in July 2022 to 61,464 miles in March 2026, averaging about 6,800 miles per year, which aligns with the typical usage for a nine‑year‑old vehicle. The progression shows a steady increase: 9,564 miles in the year to June 2023, followed by roughly 8,600 miles over the next two years, and no abrupt jumps. The only anomaly is a duplicate entry on February 3 and 4 2025 for 51,550 miles, which does not affect the overall clean record. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, test the rear brake calipers for binding, and inspect the brake discs for scoring or excessive wear. The exhaust system should be checked for rust or leaks, and the chassis and wheel arches examined for structural corrosion, as these components commonly show signs of age even when MOTs record no defects. Finally, verify tyre tread depth, confirm that any previous advisories noted in earlier records have been fully remedied, and look for signs of neglected fluid changes or worn suspension links that could affect ride quality and handling despite the current pass.
