2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA 2.1L Diesel · GU65 TZO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a successful MOT on 4 June 2026 at 78,354 miles. While the most recent test recorded no defects, the history shows a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than preventative care. The vehicle failed a test just one week prior on 28 May 2026 at 78,351 miles due to thin brake pads on both rear axles, a non-functional windscreen washer, and a faulty offside front side repeater. The quick turnaround between failure and pass suggests these specific consumable and electrical issues were addressed immediately to meet minimum standards. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,123 miles per year. The record shows a steady progression from 67,938 miles in May 2024 to 76,221 miles in June 2025, and finally 78,354 miles in June 2026. This gradual increase indicates regular, predictable usage rather than long periods of inactivity or sudden heavy-duty driving. The data is sufficiently detailed to track the wear of specific components over the last two years. A prospective buyer should focus on the braking system and suspension components during a physical inspection. The MOT history shows recurring issues with brake pad wear, with both front and rear pads flagged as thin in June 2025 and the rear pads failing again in May 2026. This trend suggests the vehicle may be due for a full brake service, including an inspection of the discs for scoring or thinning. The tester also identified a faulty nearside front suspension rod ball joint dust cover in June 2025, so verifying the integrity of all suspension bushes and ball joints is necessary to ensure no further deterioration has occurred. Finally, check the operation of all exterior lighting and fluid delivery systems. The recent failure of the side repeater and the windscreen washer indicates that minor electrical and peripheral maintenance has been overlooked in the past. While these are minor defects, they reflect a maintenance habit of addressing faults only when they trigger an MOT failure. Ensuring all bulbs, indicators, and washer nozzles function correctly will confirm that the recent repairs were comprehensive.
