2021 MERCEDES-BENZ GLA 180 AMG LINE PREMIUM + A1.3L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 7 August 2025 at 33,178 miles with zero defects recorded. That result is the most recent MOT entry available, dated just over ten months before today's date of 18 June 2026, meaning the certificate is still valid but approaching its annual renewal window. The only defect in the entire history was a single advisory-level failure on 3 October 2024 at 25,960 miles, where the offside front outer tyre exhibited a structural bulge caused by separation or partial failure of its internal structure. The same date shows a subsequent pass, indicating the tyre was replaced promptly. No recurring mechanical, structural, or corrosion-related faults appear across the record. The mileage progression is consistent and unremarkable. Between the October 2024 test at 25,960 miles and the August 2025 test at 33,178 miles, the vehicle covered 7,218 miles over roughly ten months, which aligns with the overall annualised average of approximately 6,636 miles per year for a five-year-old vehicle. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in accumulation that would suggest long periods of standing or odometer anomalies. The record is sparse, covering only two test events, but both outcomes are clean passes. A buyer should still conduct a thorough in-person inspection focused on the front offside tyre and the surrounding suspension and steering components. A bulge caused by internal separation can indicate impact damage to the wheel or underlying issues such as worn suspension bushes, damaged coil springs, or a distorted rim. Check the tyre sidewall for fresh cuts, uneven wear patterns, and the date code to confirm the replacement tyre is relatively new. Inspect the nearside front tyre for similar defects, as uneven road impacts often affect both sides. Examine the brake discs and pads for uneven wear, and check the exhaust system and underbody for corrosion, particularly around mounting points and structural seams. The clean MOT record is encouraging, but a pre-purchase inspection remains essential to verify the structural integrity of the front end and confirm that the previous tyre failure did not mask deeper mechanical damage.
