2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA 1.6L Petrol · L1 GHX

The 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 April 2026 at 53,854 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes across the prior four years. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,700 miles, typical for an eight-year-old vehicle. The records show steady accumulation: 28,415 miles in March 2022, 34,337 in April 2023, 39,556 in April 2024, 46,117 in March 2025, and 53,854 in April 2026. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, with every entry listing zero advisories or defects. A clean five-year MOT history with no advisories suggests the previous keeper maintained the car to a reasonable standard and addressed wear before it reached test-failure thresholds. No recurring suspension bushes, brake disc, caliper, or corrosion issues were flagged at any stage. Despite the spotless record, a buyer should still commission an independent inspection. Low annual use can mask perished rubber components, standing-water corrosion on structural members, and degraded fluids not visible in an MOT. Verify the brake condition, underbody structural integrity, and tyre sidewall age in person before purchase.
