2017 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 2.1L Diesel · LL17 FJV

The most recent MOT test on 2025-10-15 confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy at 56,478 miles, with no defects recorded. This marks a stable maintenance trend over the past two years, as the 2024 and 2023 tests—despite minor tyre-related advisories—did not escalate into failures. The absence of recurring structural or mechanical faults suggests the vehicle has been kept in reasonable condition, though the 2023 tyre pressure monitoring system failure indicates a single oversight rather than a systemic issue. The latest pass, combined with the lack of advisories in the last cycle, suggests the vehicle is currently compliant with UK roadworthiness standards. The recorded mileage of 56,478 miles over approximately nine years aligns with typical usage patterns for this age, averaging around 6,275 miles annually. There are no significant gaps or abrupt spikes in mileage accumulation, though the 2023 test records two entries on the same date—a rare but documented instance of a retest—suggesting a brief delay in addressing the tyre pressure monitoring system. The consistency in mileage intervals between tests (around 1,000 miles per year) implies regular use without prolonged periods of neglect or excessive wear. A buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the tyres, particularly the nearside front and offside rear, where previous advisories were noted. The 2024 record of a cut and perishing on these tyres warrants verification that they have since been replaced or repaired, as such damage can compromise grip and handling. The 2023 tyre pressure monitoring system failure, while resolved, should prompt a check of the system’s functionality and wiring integrity, as faults in this area can indicate broader electrical or sensor issues. Given the vehicle’s age, attention should also be given to suspension components—coil springs, bushes, and dampers—alongside brake discs and calipers, as these are common wear items that may not always be flagged in MOT tests but can degrade silently. Structural corrosion, particularly around wheel arches and underbody, should also be assessed, as this is often not captured in MOT records but can compromise the vehicle’s longevity.
