2017 Mercedes-Benz GLA 1.6L Petrol · MK17 ACO

The 2025‑09‑09 MOT at 72,132 miles passed without any defects, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance record. All previous tests from September 2022 through September 2025 show no recorded defects, despite a failed entry on 2023‑09‑13 that was superseded by a passing result on the same day, suggesting the issue was resolved before the final assessment. The vehicle’s 72,132 miles equate to roughly 8,000 miles per year over its nine‑year life, a pace typical for a lightly used GLA. Mileage rose from 52,601 miles in September 2022 to 57,521 miles in September 2023, a gain of 4,920 miles in one year, then to 64,667 miles by September 2024 and finally to 72,132 miles in September 2025, showing steady accumulation without abrupt spikes or long periods of inactivity. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or cracking, test the brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, and examine the chassis and wheel arches for corrosion that could compromise structural integrity. The emissions test passed, but checking the exhaust system for rust or leaks remains prudent, as does verifying tyre tread depth and overall alignment. Given the consistent pass rate and regular mileage increase, the car appears well‑maintained, yet a physical inspection should verify that the recorded lack of defects reflects actual condition, especially on suspension components, brake performance, and any hidden structural rust.
