2017 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.5L Diesel · MV67 CPX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a maintenance trend that shows improvement following specific defects. The most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 85,632 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. While the history shows intermittent failures regarding consumables and minor components, the clean sheet from the latest inspection suggests the vehicle is currently maintained to a standard that meets regulatory requirements. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per annum. Between September 2024 at 69,051 miles and September 2025 at 85,632 miles, the car covered 16,581 miles, representing a significant spike in usage compared to its historical average. There is no evidence of long periods standing which often leads to brake seizing or fuel system degradation, as the mileage progression suggests regular use throughout the multi-year period. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and rubber components. The September 2024 test flagged a corroded offside rear brake pipe obscured by grease, which often indicates an attempt to hide leaks or advanced corrosion. The buyer must verify that this pipe has been replaced and is free of weeping or structural thinning. Additionally, the drive belt noted as worn in 2024 should be inspected for cracking or glazing, as the high mileage since then increases the risk. Given the history of worn tyre edges in 2022, a thorough check of the alignment and suspension bushes is necessary to ensure the vehicle is not causing premature tyre wear.
