2016 Mercedes-Benz GLA 2.0L Petrol · DC66 OPM

The 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLA presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 30 July 2025 at 60,959 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. A failed attempt on the same date at 60,958 miles listed no defects, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault, immediately corrected by the passing retest. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,096 per year against a ten-year life, which is typical for the age. The records show 37,610 miles in August 2022, 42,706 in August 2023, 54,751 in August 2024, and 60,959 by July 2025. The step from 42,706 to 54,751 marks the highest single-year gain at just over 12,000 miles; otherwise accumulation is steady. The DVSA history is sparse and clean, with no advisories or recorded wear on consumables, suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion across any entry. Given the absence of flagged defects, the previous owner appears to have maintained the vehicle to a standard that satisfied annual testing without outstanding recommendations. No recurring mechanical or structural problems emerge from the data to suggest worsening condition or deferred upkeep. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension components, brake calipers, and underbody for corrosion, as MOT passes with no advisories do not certify component life remaining. Verify the 30 July 2025 fail reason with the test centre to confirm it was non-mechanical. Check service history to corroborate the low annual mileage and confirm fluids, tyres, and wiper blades reflect the recorded use.
