2017 Mercedes-Benz GLA 2.1L Diesel · LG04 AKG

The vehicle maintains a generally stable roadworthiness status with a history of minor electrical and consumable failures. The most recent test in June 2026 at 49,938 miles resulted in a failure due to insufficient washer fluid and a minor rear stop lamp defect, both of which were rectified immediately to secure a passing result. Prior to this, the 2025 test showed no defects whatsoever, indicating that the primary mechanical components were in good condition during the previous inspection period. The mileage profile is low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per annum. There is a notable gap in usage between August 2022 at 24,980 miles and September 2023 at 34,797 miles, where the car covered roughly 10,000 miles in a year. However, the usage has since returned to a much lower pattern over the last three years. The overall low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though long periods of standing can lead to rubber degradation. A buyer should inspect the physical condition of the tyres specifically, as the 2023 failure revealed a structural bulge and uneven wear on the offside front tyre, which indicates potential alignment issues or previous impact damage. While the record shows no history of structural corrosion or brake failures, the low mileage warrants a check for dry-rotted seals and surface rust on brake discs. The recent electrical failure regarding the stop lamp suggests a thorough check of the rear lighting wiring and washer system to ensure no underlying intermittent faults remain present.
