2017 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Diesel · KF17 TPO

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT as of 27 January 2026 and is roadworthy, though the front tyre tread is flagged as close to the legal limit. The recent pass follows a failure on 30 November 2023 for an excessively worn off‑side front suspension arm ball joint, indicating that the defect was remedied before the December 2023 test. Since the December 2023 pass the record shows no further defects, suggesting a stabilising maintenance trend. Mileage of 78 456 miles over nine years averages about 8 700 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The mileage rose from 52 501 miles in November 2023 to 78 456 miles in January 2026, an increase of roughly 26 000 miles in just over two years, implying a period of higher utilisation. Earlier intervals—1 538 miles between December 2023 and February 2024, and 13 422 miles between February 2024 and January 2025—also reflect consistent use, with no unexplained gaps in the record. A prospective buyer should inspect the off‑side front suspension arm ball joint for any residual play or corrosion, as prior excessive wear may predispose future failure. Front tyre tread should be measured on both sides to confirm uniform depth and to assess whether replacement is imminent. While no brake defects appear in the MOT history, checking the condition of brake discs, pads and calipers is prudent, especially given the tyre wear noted. Finally, a visual survey of the chassis for rust or structural damage will verify that no hidden deterioration has arisen since the last test.
