Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to high mileage
Given the high mileage, focus your inspection on the mechanical components that have previously failed. Specifically, verify that the CV boot (drive shaft joint) and the rear braking system have been properly addressed following the 2023 failure. You should also check for any signs of residual oil seepage, as an oil leak was noted in the 2023 record.
Ask the seller for evidence of recent tyre replacement, as the June 2026 MOT highlighted both front tyres were worn close to the legal limit and showing uneven inner-edge wear. This suggests a potential need for a wheel alignment check to prevent premature wear on any new tyres you install.
As a 2.1L diesel, this GLA will likely offer decent fuel economy on long motorway journeys, though costs will depend on driving style and load. Being a 2017 model, check the specific tax band, but expect standard diesel taxation rates for this engine size.
Maintenance costs for a Mercedes-Benz at this mileage tend to be higher than for economy brands. You should budget for more frequent replacements of consumables like brake pads and tyres, which have already appeared in the MOT history. Estimated annual running costs are approximately £1,400-£1,800, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance.
Start by inspecting the front tyres and the suspension setup; the 2026 MOT failure regarding inner-edge tyre wear is a strong indicator that the wheel alignment or suspension components may need attention. Check the CV boots for any splits or grease leakage, as this was a recorded failure in 2023.
Secondly, examine the braking system. While the 2023 failure for rear pads and discs was followed by two clean MOTs, you should still inspect the thickness of the pads and the condition of the discs. Finally, look under the engine for any signs of the oil leak noted in the 2023 MOT to ensure the issue was fully resolved and not just 'not excessive' at the time.
This 2017 grey Mercedes-Benz GLA has covered 107,885 miles as of June 2026, which is significantly higher than the model average of 7,845 miles per year. The MOT history shows a mix of results, including a significant failure in 2023 involving brakes, an oil leak, and a CV boot. Although the two subsequent tests passed without defects, the most recent 2026 test noted front tyre wear issues.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 87.7% MOT pass rate, with common failure points being brake pads, drive shaft joints, and suspension arms.
