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

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward wheel-related issues. The most recent test on 22 August 2025 at 50,551 miles passed despite an advisory for a slightly distorted offside front road wheel. This follows a similar defect recorded in 27 August 2024 at 40,617 miles where the offside front inner road wheel was also flagged. While the vehicle consistently passes its tests, the recurrence of wheel distortion suggests a history of impact or curb damage that has remained unaddressed. At 50,551 miles over nine years, this A-Class reflects low annual usage, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per year. This low-mile profile often correlates with the degradation of rubber components rather than mechanical wear from distance. Between October 2021 and 2022, the record shows multiple advisories regarding perishing tyres and cracking rubber, which is common in vehicles that sit stationary for extended periods. The gap of 9,934 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests indicates consistent use in the more recent intervals. A buyer must perform a physical inspection of the offside front assembly to determine if the wheel distortion has caused secondary damage to the hub, bearing, or suspension geometry. The record also flagged thin brake pads in 2021, and the history of perishing tyres in 2021 and 2022 means the age of the current tyres should be checked for sidewall cracking or dry rot, regardless of potentially high tread depth. No structural corrosion or serious mechanical failures have been noted in the history, suggesting the primary concerns remain with consumables and the integrity of the wheels.
