2017 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 2.1L Diesel · W1 LBF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, as evidenced by the most recent MOT in November 2025 at 72,530 miles which passed with no recorded defects. This result indicates that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed or monitored effectively. The overall maintenance trend shows a transition from minor wear indicators to a clean record, suggesting the current ownership is proactive in performing necessary repairs following advisories. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per annum. Between the October 2021 test at 51,838 miles and the November 2025 test at 72,530 miles, the car covered 20,692 miles at a steady rate. This moderate usage suggests typical wear rather than heavy strain on the drivetrain, though the intervals between tests occasionally lead to the undetected degradation of rubber components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry based on the November 2024 test at 67,937 miles. The tester previously flagged worn bushes on both the nearside and offside front lower suspension arms, along with a nearside front tyre worn on the edge. While these did not cause a failure then, an inspector must verify that the replacement bushes have not developed premature cracking or excessive play and check that the alignment is correct to prevent further uneven tyre wear.
