2017 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.6L Petrol · LL67 AEA

The most recent MOT test on July 10, 2025, confirms this 2017 Mercedes-Benz A-Class remains roadworthy at 100,654 miles, with no defects or advisories recorded across the past three annual tests. The consistency of passing marks—spanning July 2022 to July 2025—suggests no recurring mechanical failures, though the near-identical mileage figures for the July 2023 tests (75,329 and 75,332) imply the vehicle may have sat briefly between tests. The absence of advisories or failures over nearly nine years of operation indicates the previous owner adhered to basic maintenance, though this does not preclude hidden wear or deferred servicing. The recorded mileage of 100,654 miles at nine years old aligns closely with average usage for its class, averaging roughly 11,200 miles annually. The gap between the February 2022 test (49,039 miles) and the July 2023 tests (75,332 miles) suggests a significant mileage accumulation of 26,293 miles in just 17 months, which could indicate either high usage or a period of under-maintenance. The subsequent tests in July 2023 and 2024 show no further mileage jumps, reinforcing the need for a thorough inspection of high-wear components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, which may have endured accelerated stress during that period. Given the lack of MOT failures or advisories, no major structural or safety-critical issues have been formally recorded, but a buyer should prioritise examining the suspension geometry for uneven wear on bushes or coil springs—common in high-mileage A-Class models. The brakes, while not failed, should be checked for binding calipers or uneven disc thickness, particularly if the vehicle was driven hard during the 2022–2023 period. Corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe is also worth inspecting, as Mercedes-Benz models of this age are prone to rust progression in wet conditions. A pre-purchase diagnostic focusing on these areas will clarify whether the vehicle’s condition matches its clean MOT history.
