2016 MERCEDES-BENZ GLA2.1L DIESEL

The vehicle currently presents a positive roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 29 September 2025 at 72,933 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that previous mechanical concerns have been addressed. This follows a clean pass in 2023, suggesting that the vehicle has been maintained to a functional standard since its only recorded failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per year. Between September 2022 at 50,059 miles and September 2025 at 72,933 miles, the car covered roughly 23,000 miles, representing regular but moderate usage. This low annual mileage generally reduces wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings, though it can sometimes lead to age-related degradation if the vehicle sits stationary. Specific attention should be paid to the braking system given the failure in September 2023 at 58,327 miles, where the tester flagged rear brake pads worn below the 1.5mm limit and discs showing showing wear. While the vehicle passed the subsequent tests, a buyer should verify the current thickness of the rear pads and check for any uneven wear or glazing on the discs. The deteriorated rear registration plate noted in 2024 is a minor cosmetic issue, but should be monitored to ensure full compliance with legal visibility requirements.
