2016 Mercedes-Benz GLA 2.1L Diesel · FP66 ABN

This vehicle presents a highly stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent record of passing its MOT tests. The most recent inspection on 27 September 2025 at 103,723 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that prevents the accumulation of common wear-and-tear failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the car, averaging roughly 10,372 miles per year. Between the September 2022 test at 68,797 miles and the September 2025 test at 103,723 miles, the car covered 34,926 miles. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often leads to seized brake calipers or perished rubber seals. A technical anomaly appears on 29 September 2023, where the car failed and passed on the same day at 82,005 miles, though the lack of recorded defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative failure rather than a mechanical fault. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should still conduct a targeted physical inspection of high-wear components. At over 100,000 miles, the suspension bushes and coil springs are prone to fatigue, even if they have not yet reached a failure threshold. The absence of advisories over several years is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage, so a manual check of the brake disc thickness and tyre tread depth is recommended to ensure consumables are not nearing the end of their service life. The lack of recorded corrosion or structural integrity issues across five years of testing is a positive indicator. Focus should remain on the drivetrain and service intervals, as the MOT record only confirms basic roadworthiness and does not reflect the status of oil changes, filter replacements, or gearbox lubrication.
