2017 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.6L Petrol · KT17 ACX

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean roadworthiness status at its most recent inspection. The May 2026 test at 42,501 miles recorded no defects, indicating the car is currently meeting all statutory requirements. This follows a successful pass in May 2025 at 38,289 miles, suggesting that any previous minor issues have been addressed and the vehicle has maintained a consistent standard of upkeep over the last two years. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2017 model, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. The data shows steady, incremental growth from 18,796 miles in May 2020 to the current 42,501 miles. While this low usage reduces wear on drivetrain and engine components, the pattern of infrequent driving is reflected in the tyre history. The vehicle has experienced periodic issues with rubber degradation, specifically in the May 2021 test where all tyres were flagged as perishing, and again in May 2024 with a damaged offside rear inner tyre. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the tyres and rubber components. The history of perishing tyres suggests the vehicle may spend extended periods stationary, which can lead to sidewall cracking and age-related degradation regardless of tread depth. I recommend checking the integrity of all tyre sidewalls and inspecting suspension bushes and seals for signs of drying or cracking. While no structural corrosion or brake issues have appeared in the records, the low mileage profile warrants a close look at the battery health and fluid levels to ensure long-term reliability.
