2017 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.6L Petrol · YC17 NNV

The vehicle is roadworthy but displays a worsening tyre condition, as the August 2025 test at 32,703 miles flagged the off‑side front tyre worn close to the legal limit and both rear tyres showing early cracking, whereas the previous year’s test recorded only slight damage. The trend from clean results in 2023 to escalating tyre wear in 2024 and 2025 suggests consumable components are now the primary concern. Mileage has risen from 21,163 miles in September 2021 to 32,703 miles in August 2025, averaging roughly 3,600 miles per year. The incremental increase of about 2,800 miles between each annual test indicates a steady, low‑usage pattern with no periods of rapid accumulation. The record is otherwise sparse, showing no major defects across five inspections, which reinforces the impression of gentle use. A prospective buyer should focus on the tyres, confirming tread depth exceeds the legal minimum and inspecting sidewalls for any progression of cracking that could signal underlying alignment or suspension issues. Visual checks of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and rear brake discs for signs of wear or binding are advisable, even though no faults were recorded. Finally, a thorough examination for structural rust around the wheel arches and under‑carriage, as well as a review of exhaust emissions components, will ensure no hidden deterioration has developed since the last MOT.
