2016 Mercedes-Benz GLA 2.1L Diesel · FP66 ACO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of consistent maintenance. The most recent inspection on 8 October 2025 at 53,262 miles saw the car pass with no defects recorded. This follows a period of clean passes throughout 2024 and early 2023, indicating that the mechanical and structural components are currently meeting DVSA standards without the immediate need for major-related repairs. The mileage pattern is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per annum. Data shows a significant increase in usage between March 2023 and October 2024, where the car covered 6,781 miles in roughly seventeen months. The interval between the October 2024 and October 2025 tests shows a more consistent usage rate with 6,690 miles recorded. This low annual mileage suggests reduced wear on the drivetrain and engine, but can occasionally lead to rubber degradation or brake corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. While the recent history is clean, a buyer should focus physical inspection on components susceptible to low-mileage neglect. The failure on 16 March 2023 at 39,791 miles indicates a specific fault that was rectified before the subsequent pass, so the buyer should verify the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking. Given the age of the vehicle despite the low mileage, check the brake discs for pitting and the tyre sidewalls for oxidation, as these age through time rather than just distance travelled.
