Our Verdict
This 2014 Mercedes-Benz GLA diesel is a reasonable buy if priced correctly, but budget for brake pipe and tyre work soon. The single 2024 MOT failure was quickly rectified, yet corrosion and wear advisories show it is now an ageing vehicle needing attention.
Use the May 2026 MOT advisories to negotiate: the tester noted all three front brake pipes corroded and covered in grease, plus an offside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit. Ask for proof these were addressed or deduct around £200-£400 from the price for the work. Confirm a full service history, as no aggregate reliability data exists for this model and the 2143cc diesel needs timely oil and filter changes to avoid costly injector or DPF issues.
