2017 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.6L Petrol · GE67 ETA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on August 27, 2025, 16,369 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, moving from a failure in 2021 to several consecutive clean passes. While the 2025 test introduced advisories regarding perishing on both rear tyres, the vehicle has avoided any significant mechanical or structural failures being recorded in the last three testing cycles. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,819 miles per year. This low usage is consistent across the record, with only 9,129 miles covered between August 2020 and August 2025. Such a pattern suggests the car has spent long periods stationary, which often leads to age-related degradation rather than wear-and-tear damage. The gap between tests remains regular, indicating the owner has adhered to the annual testing de-minimisisation schedule despite the low odometer readings. A buyer should specifically inspect the condition of all rubber components. The history shows recurring issues between 2020 and 2022 with the offside front tyre reaching the legal limit or showing exposed cords, followed by the 2025 advisory for cracking and perishing on the rear axle. This confirms the tyres are drying out due to age and inactivity rather than tread depth. Physical inspection should also check brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from rust seizing on the braking system when not used frequently to clear the metal.
