Our Verdict
Overall this 2017 Mercedes‑Benz GLA pres
When inspecting the car, verify the condition of all four tyres and confirm that they have been or will be replaced, as the 2026 MOT flagged rear tyres worn close to the legal limit. Check the wiper blades and motor for proper operation, given the 2025 failure involved ineffective clearing and a defective blade. Review any available service records for the diesel's emission system, particularly the DPF, as these are not captured in MOT data but can affect long‑term reliability.
Negotiation points should include the cost of new tyres and any imminent brake or suspension work, as the model's aggregate data highlights suspension arm, coil spring and drive‑shaft joint as common failure areas. If the seller can provide receipts for recent tyre replacement or a recent DPF service, you may be able to adjust the price accordingly. Aim to keep the purchase price in line with market values for a low‑mileage 2017 GLA in blue, factoring in the modest tyre wear issue.
The 2.1‑litre diesel engine typically achieves around 50 mpg, giving an annual fuel cost of roughly £800‑£1,000 based on average UK diesel prices and 8,000 miles per year. Road tax for a diesel of this vintage falls into Band D, costing about £150 per year. Insurance groups for the GLA sit around 30, translating to an annual premium of £600‑£800 depending on driver profile. Routine maintenance, including oil changes, brake pads and potential DPF service, adds another £200‑£300 annually. Overall, expect total running costs in the region of £1,750‑£2,250 per year.
Start with a thorough tyre inspection: measure tread depth on all four wheels and look for uneven wear that could indicate alignment or suspension issues. The MOT notes from 2026 specifically advise replacing the rear tyres, so budgeting for new tyres is prudent.
Next, examine the windscreen wipers and their motor for proper clearance and operation, as the 2025 failure highlighted ineffective clearing and a defective blade. While these are relatively minor, they should be functioning correctly before purchase.
Finally, given the model's known weak points, inspect the suspension components (especially the control arms and coil springs) and the drive‑shaft joints for any signs of wear, clunking noises, or leaking grease. A test drive should reveal any handling quirks, and a visual check under the vehicle can uncover rust or damage to these areas.
The vehicle has logged 52,569 miles over just under ten years, which is well below the model's average annual mileage of 7,881 miles. Its MOT history shows four passes and one failure, the latter relating to tyre wear and wiper condition rather than major mechanical components. Recent MOTs in 2024, 2025 and 2026 were passed, indicating the car is currently road‑worthy, though tyre tread is close to the legal limit. The diesel engine offers good fuel economy but may incur higher tax and potential DPF servicing.
The GLA has an average MOT pass rate of 87.6%, with the most common failures being suspension arm, coil spring and drive‑shaft joint issues.
