2017 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.6L Petrol · LO67 VRM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on March 3 2026 at 68,090 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to servicing. While the latest test only identified a minor stone chip on the central front lower windscreen, the previous inspection in March 2025 revealed significant wear on consumable components that required immediate attention to maintain the vehicle's legal status. At 68,090 miles over nine years, the car has averaged approximately 7,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for its age. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with 14,645 miles covered between December 2023 and March 2025, and another 9,645 miles in the final fifteen months leading to the most recent test. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of inactivity, which is generally beneficial for the rubber components and seals within the braking system. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system when in person, as the March 2025 test flagged both front and rear pads as wearing thin. Although these were likely replaced before the subsequent test, an inspection of the discs for uneven wear or glazing is necessary given the previous neglect. The nearside front tyre noted as worn on the edge in 2025 suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that should be verified to prevent further premature wear on new tyres.
