2017 Mercedes-Benz GLA 2.1L Diesel · DC67 HDK

The 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLA presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 30 March 2026 at 71,786 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following clean passes on 31 March 2025 at 65,088 miles and 28 November 2024 at 64,374 miles. The vehicle shows no advisory or failure items across its later history, indicating consistent upkeep in the recent ownership period. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,976 miles, typical for a nine-year-old vehicle. The records show a tight cluster between 5 November and 28 November 2024 where the car recorded 64,374 miles across three tests, suggesting a pre-sale preparation cycle rather than normal use. From November 2024 to March 2026 the odometer advanced only 7,412 miles, confirming light recent running. The sparse, clean record gives little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred mechanical work. The two failed tests on 27 and 5 November 2024 at 64,374 miles list no defects, pointing to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. No recurring suspension bushes, brake disc, coil spring, or corrosion problems appear in the data. The absence of advisories across four passes means the buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity, underside corrosion, and brake caliper operation, as MOT cleanliness does not certify component life remaining. Given the low annual use and clean test lineage, previous owners appear to have maintained the GLA to minimum legal standard without obvious cost-cutting. A pre-purchase check of tyre sidewall age, fluid condition, and drivetrain mounts remains sensible on a car of this mileage and standing time.
