Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and negotiate on tyre replacement costs. While the MOT history is clean of failures, the consistent advisory notes regarding tyre wear suggest potential alignment issues.
Your primary focus should be on the suspension and wheel alignment. The MOT history shows a pattern of 'worn on edge' tyres, specifically noted in 2024 and again in 2026 on the nearside rear. This often indicates that the vehicle has been driven with incorrect camber or toe settings, which can lead to premature tyre replacement costs.
When inspecting, check the service history to ensure the diesel particulate filter (DPF) has been maintained, as high-mileage small-capacity diesels can struggle if used exclusively for short city trips. Given the current mileage of 95,618, ask for proof of recent major service intervals and check the condition of the brake discs and pads, as these are nearing a typical replacement cycle.
As a 1461cc diesel, this A-Class is designed for efficiency, making it an economical choice for motorway driving. You can expect relatively low fuel consumption compared to petrol equivalents, though tax and insurance will depend on the specific trim level and driver profile.
Maintenance costs for Mercedes-Benz models tend to be higher than mainstream brands like Ford or Vauxhall. While the engine is a smaller, efficient unit, parts and specialist labour for the A-Class can be premium. Budget for regular servicing and potential upcoming heavy maintenance items given the vehicle is approaching the 100,000-mile mark.
Specifically inspect the tyres and wheels. The most recent MOT advisory (2026) mentions the nearside rear tyre is worn close to the legal limit with heavy wear to the inner edge. This pattern was also seen in 2024 on both the nearside front and offside rear. A thorough road test is essential to check for any pulling to one side or vibrations that might indicate worn suspension components or bushings.
Additionally, check the underside of the vehicle for any signs of oil leaks or excessive corrosion. With nearly 96,000 miles on the clock, inspect the drive belts and cooling system components to ensure they are in good health, as these are common wear items at this stage of a vehicle's life.
This 2017 Mercedes-Benz A-Class diesel has covered 95,618 miles since its first registration in June 2017, showing a consistent upward trend in usage. The vehicle has maintained a clean MOT pass record throughout its life, but recent advisories highlight recurring issues with tyre wear. It represents a high-mileage example of the 1.5L diesel variant, likely suited for long-distance commuters.
