Our Verdict
A sensible purchase for those seeking a
Given the mileage has surpassed 100,000 miles, your primary focus should be on verifying the service history. While the MOT records show no failures, they do not confirm that regular oil changes or scheduled maintenance have been performed. Ask the seller for a stamped service book or digital printouts to ensure the 1.6L petrol engine has been maintained according to Mercedes-Benz intervals.
When viewing this white A 160, check the condition of the Sport Executive trim components and electronics. At this mileage, it is also worth inspecting the suspension components and brake wear, as these are common areas of interest for vehicles approaching the six-figure mileage mark, even if they haven't triggered an MOT failure yet.
The 1595cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group, though specific costs will depend on the driver's profile. Fuel economy for the A 160 is typically efficient for a premium hatchback, making it suitable for mixed driving.
Maintenance costs for a Mercedes-Benz can be higher than for non-premium brands due to part costs and specialist labour. You should budget for more frequent consumable replacements (tyres, brakes, and wipers) as the vehicle continues to accrue mileage. Estimated annual running costs typically range between £1,200 and £1,600 depending on annual mileage and insurance premiums.
Focus your inspection on the mechanical health of the 1.6L petrol engine. Although the MOT history from 2021 to 2025 shows no defects, you should check for any signs of oil leaks or unusual engine noise that wouldn't necessarily be caught during a standard MOT test.
Check the condition of the tyres and brake pads, as well as the suspension's ability to absorb bumps without knocking. Since the most recent MOT at 106,850 miles recorded no defects, the vehicle's current safety compliance is high, but a physical check of the underbody for corrosion is always a prudent step for a vehicle of this age.
This 2017 Mercedes-Benz A 160 Sport Executive has covered 106,850 miles since its first registration in March 2017. The MOT history is notable for having no recorded defects or failures across its four recorded tests, spanning from 53,394 miles to its most recent check at 106,850 miles. While the mileage is significant for a nine-year-old vehicle, the lack of MOT failures is a positive indicator of its compliance with roadworthiness standards.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the Mercedes-Benz A 160 Sport Executive to provide a statistical comparison.
