2016 Mercedes-Benz GLA 2.1L Diesel · WR16 AAF

The 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLA with 90,417 miles demonstrates a stable maintenance trend, as the most recent MOT on 2026-01-07 at 90,417 miles recorded no defects. All five consecutive annual tests, spanning from 2022-01-13 to 2026-01-07, were passed without issues, indicating consistent adherence to roadworthiness standards. No recurring mechanical or structural faults were flagged across the full history, suggesting the vehicle has been well-maintained by previous owners. The mileage progression aligns with typical annual usage, accumulating approximately 9,000 miles per year. Gaps between tests are regular (exactly one year apart), with no evidence of prolonged inactivity or abrupt mileage spikes. The 2022-01-13 test at 54,769 miles to the 2026-01-07 test at 90,417 miles shows a steady increase of 35,648 miles over four years, reflecting consistent driving rather than erratic usage. This pattern reduces concerns about hidden wear from neglect or excessive idling. A buyer should conduct a detailed inspection of suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, which can degrade over time without MOT testing. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as these are common issues in older vehicles. The exhaust system and underbody should also be examined for rust, as structural integrity is not assessed during standard MOTs. While the record shows no defects, the absence of service history means verifying maintenance practices for critical systems remains essential.
