2017 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.6L Petrol · WR67 FCV

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs as the mileage increases. The most recent test in October 2025 at 158,067 miles passed with only a minor advisory for front wiper blades. This follows a period in late 2024 where the tester identified multiple mechanical and wear issues, indicating that the vehicle is now entering a phase where more significant components require closer monitoring. The mileage profile is consistently high, averaging approximately 17,500 miles per year over its nine-year life. Between October 2023 and October 2024, the car covered 22,472 miles, representing a heavy usage pattern compared to earlier years. While the records from 2021 to 2023 show a clean history without defects, the rapid accumulation of miles since the 100,000-mile mark places places considerable stress on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking system. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear braking system and rear suspension geometry. The 2024 record noted pitted and worn rear brake discs alongside tyres going out of shape, which often points to sticking calipers or poor alignment settings. You should also verify that the current rear tyres show even wear to ensure the previous unevenness has been properly addressed. Given the high mileage, checking for oil leaks around the engine and inspecting the lower control arms for corrosion is essential to ensure the heavy use has not compromised the structural integrity of the chassis.
