2016 Mercedes-Benz GLA 2.1L Diesel · BA16 KTO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent MOT test on 28 May 2025 at 63,720 miles resulted in no defects recorded, following a failure just one day prior. This specific sequence suggests a minor administrative or consumable issue was rectified immediately before the successful retest. Since 2022, the car has maintained a clean record without any recorded mechanical failures or structural advisories. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,372 miles per year. Between June 2022 at 38,336 miles and May 2025 at 63,720 miles, the car covered 25,384 miles, which reflects a steady usage rate of roughly 8,400 miles per annum during that period—slightly higher than the lifetime average. This low mileage typically indicates less strain on drivetrain components and suspension bushings, though it can occasionally lead to rubber component degradation if the vehicle sits stationary frequently. While the MOT record shows no recurring advisories or structural corrosion, a physical inspection should focus on common Mercedes-Benz wear points for this age and mileage. Check the brake discs for signs of pitting or thinning, as low-frequency use can lead to surface rust and binding. Inspect the front suspension arms and coil springs for cracking or leaks, as the MOT does not always catch early-stage play in rubber components until they reach a failure threshold.
