MERCEDES-BENZ GLA2018 · 1.6L Petrol

The vehicle currently holds a valid roadworthy status following the January 2026 test at 63,965 miles, where the tester passed it with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the three years of available history, with each annual examination clearing the car on the pass attempt. A recurring administrative pattern emerges: the 2026-01-16, 2025-01-08, and earlier entries each show a failed test on the same date and mileage as the pass, yet with no defects listed. This suggests clerical or presentation anomalies at the testing station rather than mechanical faults, as no advisories or rejects were logged against the Mercedes-Benz GLA. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for an eight-year-old vehicle, with 63,965 miles recorded against the 2026 test equating to roughly 8,000 miles per year. The records show 44,122 miles at the January 2024 test, rising to 55,784 miles by January 2025 and 63,965 miles by January 2026. Annual increments of around 8,000 to 9,000 miles indicate consistent, moderate use with no standing periods or sudden high-mileage spikes. The DVSA data is sparse on fault detail, listing clean results throughout, so no wear trends on consumables or major assemblies can be inferred from the advisories column. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear, as the MOT record provides no visibility of component condition between the annual tests. The absence of corrosion or structural integrity flags in the history is reassuring for a 2018 chassis, though underside inspection remains prudent given Mercedes aluminium and steel mix vulnerabilities. Verify the duplicated fail-pass entries with the test centre to confirm no suppressed defects exist on the DVLA backend.
