2017 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Diesel · KX67 NFA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy and shows an improving maintenance trend following a period of mechanical neglect. The most recent test in January 2026 at 84,584 miles passed with only a minor defect regarding a split rear windscreen wiper blade. This follows two years of clean records in 2024 and 2025, indicating that the previous owner addressed the underlying mechanical and safety issues that caused the significant 2023 failure. At 84,584 miles over nine years, the A Class has averaged approximately 9,400 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for this age. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with roughly 2,200 miles driven between the January 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 2,200 miles in the final interval. This steady usage suggests the vehicle is driven regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which generally helps with the preservation of seals and mechanical components. A buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension geometry, as the 2023 failure highlighted uneven tyre wear on the offside front and nearside-rear tyres. While these tyres have since been replaced, the edge wear often points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. Furthermore, the 2023 failure for an inoperative engine management light suggests a past electrical fault; although currently functional, a diagnostic scan would be prudent to ensure no intermittent faults remain in the vehicle's memory. The physical inspection should also verify the washer system and headlamp alignment, as these were previous points of failure now rectified. Given the lack of structural corrosion or brake advisories in the recent records, the vehicle appears to have been well-maintained in its current cycle. However, checking the state of the current tyres is vital to ensure the wear patterns observed in 2023 have not returned.
