Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Focus your attention on the service history to ensure the 1991cc petrol engine has been maintained according to manufacturer intervals, as MOT tests do not verify mechanical servicing. Check for any evidence of interior wear that might contradict the low mileage figure. Given the clean MOT record, you have a strong position for negotiation based on the car's documented history, but ensure you verify the current tyre tread and brake pad thickness manually.
The 2.0L petrol engine will result in higher fuel consumption and road tax compared to the smaller A-Class variants. Insurance costs will be influenced by the vehicle's premium branding and engine size, typically placing it in a mid-to-high insurance group. Maintenance costs for Mercedes-Benz vehicles tend to be higher than budget brands, particularly for genuine parts and specialist labour.
While this vehicle's MOT history shows no defects, aggregate data for the A-Class indicates that tyres, windscreen wipers, and headlamps are common failure points; these should be checked manually. Inspect the tyres for uneven wear and ensure all exterior lighting is functioning correctly. Additionally, check the condition of the grey paintwork for any stone chips or scratches that would not be captured in MOT records.
This 2017 grey Mercedes-Benz A-Class presents a compelling proposition with 46,385 miles recorded as of its last MOT in May 2025. The vehicle has passed every MOT test since 2021 without a single defect or advisory recorded. Compared to model averages, this specific car has been driven significantly less than the typical A-Class of this age.
The A-Class has a respectable average MOT pass rate of 82.2% across over 261,000 analysed vehicles.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2017 model year cars.
- OM651 Diesel Chain Tensioner Oil LeakModerate
On 1.8-litre and 2.1-litre OM651 diesel engines, the timing chain tensioner seal is a well-documented weak point. Over time the rubber O-ring gasket degrades, leading to persistent engine oil weeping down the right flank of the engine block. Left unaddressed, loss of oil pressure at the tensioner can cause timing chain rattle on startup and premature stretch.
- DCT gearbox judder and clutch wearModerate
The 7G-DCT dual-clutch transmission (Getrag/Mercedes 724.0) suffers from low-speed lurching, clutch shudder, and software calibration drift, particularly on cars driven primarily in stop-start urban traffic. Neglecting the mandatory 4-year/40,000-mile transmission fluid and dual-filter service accelerates clutch pack wear and mechatronic solenoid sticking.
- M270 Petrol Timing Chain StretchSerious
The 1.6-litre and 2.0-litre M270 turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engines can experience timing chain elongation and tensioner fatigue, especially when subject to extended variable service intervals. An elongated chain causes camshaft timing deviation, triggering check engine warnings and in severe cases skipping teeth.
