2017 Mercedes-Benz GLA 2.1L Diesel · DA67 KLM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test in late April 2026 at 77,762 miles resulted in a failure due to a split nearside front constant velocity boot and a cut offside front tyre. While the vehicle passed again just two days later following repairs, the presence of the CV boot failure suggests the owner only addressed mechanical defects once forced by the MOT tester rather than during routine servicing. The recorded mileage of 77,762 miles over nine years averages to approximately 8,640 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. There is a significant gap in data between the December 2023 test at 58,702 miles and the April 2025 test at 69,480 miles, during which the vehicle covered over 10,000 miles. This period of use is consistent with the wear patterns observed on the braking components and wipers noted in the 2025 inspection. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system, as records show thin rear pads and worn discs in both 2022 and 2025. The recurring nature of these faults suggests the owner waits until components reach their wear limit before replacement. Additionally, the recent failure of the nearside front CV boot necessitates a close look at the drive shaft to ensure no grit has entered the joint, which would lead to more costly drivetrain failure. The offside front tyre should also be monitored for further structural damage to ensure the previous cut has not de-compromised the internal cords.
