2016 Mercedes-Benz GLA 2.1L Diesel · DU65 WKT

The current roadworthiness status of this Mercedes-Benz GLA is positive, with a clean pass recorded on 28 July 2025 at 102,153 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has successfully cleared three consecutive annual tests without any recorded advisories or defects since the repair of a suspension failure in late 2023. The absence of recurring issues suggests that the previous owner has addressed mechanical concerns promptly, maintaining the vehicle to a standard that satisfies current MOT requirements. The vehicle has covered approximately 102,153 miles over ten years, averaging roughly 10,215 miles per annum. This consistent accumulation indicates regular usage rather than prolonged periods of inactivity, which often lead to seized components or perished rubber seals. The mileage progression remains steady across the provided history, with an increase of roughly 12,000 miles between the 2022 and 2023 tests, and a similar jump between 2024 and 2025. This pattern points to a well-utilised vehicle that has likely spent most of its life on the road rather than in storage. While the recent test history is clear, the 2023 failure regarding a fractured offside rear coil spring warrants a targeted physical inspection of the suspension system. You should check all four coil springs for signs of fatigue, corrosion, or recent replacement, as failure in one corner can indicate that the remaining springs are nearing the end of their service life. Given the current mileage, also inspect the brake discs and pads for thinning, as these consumables are frequently replaced at this stage of a vehicle's lifecycle. Verify the condition of the under-covers and sill-covers mentioned in the 2022 record to ensure there is no hidden corrosion or impact damage to the chassis rails.
