2019 Mercedes-Benz GLA 1.6L Petrol · AK51 AMY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in January 2026 at 82,939 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a failure in late 2025. While the car previously failed due to brake efficiency and tyre wear, the subsequent pass indicates that the owner addressed these specific mechanical safety concerns to bring the vehicle back to a compliant standard. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,800 miles per year. There is a notable gap of over 8,000 miles between October 2023 and August 2024, followed by a rapid accumulation of 14,500 miles between August 2024 and September 2025. This spike in usage likely correlates with the appearance of the faults noted in the 2025 test, as higher-mileage periods place greater stress on consumable components such as the tyres and the braking system. A buyer should specifically inspect the parking brake mechanism, as the failure in September 2025 highlighted an efficiency level below requirements. Although this was rectified, a physical test of the handbrake tension is necessary to ensure the cables or actuators are not thinning out or binding. Additionally, the previous report of front tyres being worn on the edges suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes, which should be verified by checking for uneven tread patterns on the current set.
