2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA 2.1L Diesel · GV67 OVX

The vehicle's recent MOT history shows an improving trend in roadworthiness, moving from failures in previous years to a clean pass in the most recent test on 22 January 2026. While the 2024 and 2025 records show instances where the vehicle failed to meet minimum standards, the most recent inspection recorded no defects. This suggests that issues identified during the January 2024 and January 2025 failures were addressed, resulting in a clean certificate for the current period. The recorded mileage of 69,543 miles is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 8,693 miles per year. The MOT data shows annual testing patterns with no significant gaps in the inspection timeline. The transition from the January 2025 failure to the clean pass in January 2026 indicates that the vehicle has been undergoing regular annual testing throughout its recent history. A prospective buyer should focus on the specific causes of the failures recorded on 25 January 2024 and 24 January 2025. Although the specific mechanical components were not listed in the provided summary, the occurrence of two failures within a twelve-month period warrants a physical inspection of common wear items. Particular attention should be paid to the braking system, including brake discs and pads, as well as suspension components like bushes and coil springs, which often trigger failures in vehicles of this age and mileage. The lack of recorded advisories in the 2025 and 2026 tests is a positive indicator of the current state of consumables, but the history of failures means the vehicle's maintenance pattern has been reactive rather than preventative. An in-person inspection should verify that any previous mechanical faults were resolved with appropriate parts and that no new issues with exhaust emissions or structural integrity have emerged since the last test.
