2016 Mercedes-Benz GLA 2.0L Petrol · DX16 YLL

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a consistent passing record. The most recent test on 24 July 2026 at 61,377 miles resulted in a pass, though the tester flagged an offside rear tyre with slight damage and cracking. This indicates a minor consumable issue rather than a mechanical failure. Aside from this recent advisory, the vehicle has maintained a clean record for several years, specifically showing no defects in the June 2025 and July 2023 tests. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical low-to-mid usage pattern for a ten-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 6,138 miles per year on average. The data shows steady progression, moving from 41,257 miles in July 2020 to 61,377 miles in July 2026. There are no significant gaps in testing or periods of unexplained inactivity, suggesting the vehicle has been in regular, predictable use. The MOT history highlights a recurring pattern of tyre-related issues. In February 2019, the vehicle failed due to headlamp aim and worn tyres. A similar failure occurred in July 2020 regarding headlamp aim and tyre condition. While these are largely consumable issues, the repeated presence of objects in tyres, such as the nearside rear object noted in July 2024 and July 2022, suggests a driver who may be less attentive to road debris or tyre maintenance. A prospective buyer should focus on the condition of the tyres and wheel alignment. Given the history of headlamp aim failures and tyre edge wear, checking the suspension geometry and ensuring the steering components are not causing uneven wear is advisable. While no structural corrosion or serious mechanical defects like brake binding or suspension bush failure have appeared in the records, a physical inspection of the tyre sidewalls and tread depth is necessary to address the most recent advisory.
