2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA 2.1L Diesel · AF68 VDO

The vehicle presents a remarkably clean MOT history, with the most recent test on 1 December 2025 at 125,027 miles resulting in a clear pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This consistent record of clean passes across five consecutive annual inspections indicates a stable and well-maintained mechanical state. The absence of even minor recorded advisories suggests that previous owners likely addressed consumable items such as tyres and brake components outside of the formal test cycle, reflecting a proactive approach to vehicle care. The recorded mileage of 125,027 miles over an eight-year period confirms high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 15,600 miles per annum. A significant jump in usage occurred between November 2022 and November 2023, where the odometer increased by roughly 35,500 miles, indicating the vehicle was likely utilised for extensive motorway travel during that twelve-month window. Since that period of high accumulation, the rate of mileage increase has slowed considerably, with only 5,557 miles added between the November 2024 and December 2025 tests. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components that typically suffer from such high mileage, even if they have not yet triggered an MOT failure. Given the heavy motorway usage, inspect the front end for stone chips and ensure the cooling system and radiator show no signs of premature degradation. While the MOT history is spotless, verify the service history for evidence of transmission fluid changes and suspension bush replacements, as these items are often due for attention at this mileage interval. Check the brake discs for deep scoring or thinness, as these are often replaced between tests and may be nearing the end of their service life despite the clean pass.
