2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA 2.1L Diesel · DA15 VOJ

The 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 14 August 2025 at 70,344 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a same-day failure that listed no defects, indicating an administrative re-test rather than a mechanical fault. Prior annual tests in August 2024 at 64,375 miles, August 2023 at 56,350 miles, and July 2022 at 51,223 miles all passed clean. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or escalating wear across the five-year record. Annual mileage averages 6,395 against an 11-year life, a typical figure for the age. The record logs steady yearly use: 5,127 miles between the July 2022 and August 2023 tests, then 8,025, 8,025, and 5,969 miles in the following intervals. No standing periods or sudden accumulation appear. The clean sheet across every entry means the DVSA data gives no evidence of skipped consumables or deferred suspension, brake, or corrosion work. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished history. The GLA's MacPherson front struts and multi-link rear suspension can develop worn bushes or coil spring fractures not always caught in a pass with no defects. Check brake disc thickness and caliper operation, as binding rear calipers often escape MOT notation until lipped. Examine underbody and sills for structural corrosion, particularly around the subframe mounts, since the record cites none but Mercedes weld seams trap moisture. Confirm the 2025 same-day fail was clerical by reviewing the V5C and prior owner count; clean tests at this mileage imply disciplined servicing, not deferred risk.
