2017 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Diesel · LS67 YLL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a period of minor neglect. The most recent inspection conducted on 18 May 2026 at 44,306 miles resulted in zero defects, indicating that the car is currently meeting all statutory safety standards. This follows a successful pass in May 2025 after a previous failure for minor issues that were rectified immediately to pass the subsequent retest. The mileage pattern is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,900 miles per year. The data shows consistent, light usage, with only 4,000 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 2,800 miles since the May 2025 inspection. This low mileage suggests that mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine is likely minimal, though it increases the likelihood of rubber-based components degrading due to age rather than distance. A buyer should inspect the physical condition of the tyres, as the history shows recurring issues with them. The 2023 test at 35,373 miles flagged perishing on the rear tyres, and the 2025 failure involved deep cuts reaching the cords on both rear tyres. Because the car likely sits for long periods, the buyer must check for sidewall cracking and flat spots even if the tread depth remains sufficient. Additionally, verify the washer fluid system and hoses, as insufficient flow was previously a point of failure.
