2017 Mercedes-Benz GLA 1.6L Petrol · A26 DEB

The 2017 Mercedes‑Benz GLA is currently roadworthy; the most recent MOT on 14 May 2025 recorded a pass with zero defects, confirming a stable maintenance trend across all four annual tests. No failures or advisories have appeared in the four‑year MOT history, indicating consistent compliance with DVSA standards. Mileage accumulation shows a low‑usage pattern for a nine‑year‑old vehicle. Between July 2023 (27 013 mi) and May 2025 (40 352 mi) the car added roughly 13 339 mi over 22 months, averaging about 4 500 mi per year. The interval between the July 2024 test (35 360 mi) and the May 2025 test is just nine months, suggesting the vehicle has been driven regularly but still at a modest rate. The gap between the July 2022 test (19 021 mi) and July 2023 (27 013 mi) reflects a similar annual increase, so the data is consistent rather than sparse. Although the MOT record is clean, a buyer should inspect wear items that are not fully captured by routine testing. Check tyre tread depth and uneven wear for signs of under‑inflation or alignment issues. Examine suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or excessive play, and inspect brake discs and calipers for uneven thickness or corrosion. Look over the exhaust system for rust holes and assess the under‑body for structural corrosion, especially around wheel arches and sill panels. Verify that fluids are at correct levels and not contaminated, and note any battery terminal corrosion that may result from periods of inactivity. These visual and tactile checks will complement the MOT history and reveal any latent wear that a pass may have overlooked.
