2017 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 2.1L Diesel · LS67 YLO

Based on the DVSA MOT records supplied, this 2017 Mercedes-Benz A-Class presents a mixed mechanical picture. The most recent test on 9 October 2025 at 66,442 miles resulted in a pass, but the tester flagged several advisories that point to deferred maintenance rather than catastrophic failure. The nearside front outer constant velocity boot was noted as severely deteriorated, and the offside rear brake disc was worn, pitted, or scored. A nail was also found in the offside rear sidewall. These are not immediate MoT failures, yet they indicate the previous owner tolerated borderline consumable wear. The maintenance trend is neither clearly worsening nor resolving; it sits somewhere in between, with minor defects accumulating between clean passes. The mileage progression is broadly consistent with light, regular use. Between 3 October 2023 at 52,992 miles and 9 October 2025 at 66,442 miles, the car covered roughly 13,450 miles in just under two years, averaging around 6,700 miles annually. That sits slightly below the stated 7,382 miles per year typical for a nine-year-old vehicle, suggesting the mileage is plausible rather than suspiciously low. There are no glaring gaps in the record, though the cluster of two tests within a week in October 2024 hints at a failed first attempt followed by a prompt retest after addressing the CV boot and TPMS light. A buyer inspecting this car in person should focus on the front drivetrain and braking components. The nearside front CV boot has appeared repeatedly in the record, first flagged as split or insecure on 3 October 2024 at 59,809 miles, then described as severely deteriorated on 9 October 2025 at 66,442 miles. That progression suggests the boot has been weeping grease for some time, and the joint itself may now be contaminated or worn. The offside rear brake disc was flagged as worn and pitted in the latest test, so the rear braking assembly deserves close visual inspection for lipping, heat scoring, and pad thickness. The recurring tyre advisories, including a cut and edge wear on the offside front and a nail in the offside rear sidewall, indicate the previous owner likely ran tyres down to the legal limit rather than replacing them proactively. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and structural underbody corrosion should also be checked, as these are common failure points on higher-mileage A-Class models and were not explicitly addressed in the supplied record.
