Our Verdict
A solid purchase option for those seeking a relatively low-mileage GLA. The recent MOT history is clean, though buyers should note the tyre wear issues noted in 2024.
When inspecting this 1.6L petrol GLA, pay close attention to the condition of the tyres. The 2024 MOT record specifically flagged both nearside and offside front tyres as being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges, which can sometimes indicate alignment issues. Ensure the current set of tyres shows even wear across the tread.
Request documentation regarding any recent wheel alignments or suspension work. Given that aggregate data for this model shows suspension arms and coil springs as top failure reasons, it is worth checking for any unusual knocks or rattles during a test drive, even though this specific vehicle has no recorded suspension failures to date.
As a 1595cc petrol engine, this GLA is likely to fall into a moderate insurance group and a standard tax band for its Euro 6 status. Fuel economy for this model is generally efficient for a compact SUV, though real-world figures will depend on driving style.
Typical maintenance costs for a Mercedes-Benz include premium parts and labour, which may be higher than non-premium brands. You should budget for regular servicing to maintain the vehicle's Euro 6 compliance and overall performance. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, and maintenance, sit around £1,200-£1,500.
Focus your inspection on the tyres and wheels. The 2024 MOT history noted edge wear on the front tyres, so check for any signs of uneven tread patterns which could suggest geometry issues. Also, inspect the brake pads and discs, as these are standard wear items for a vehicle of this age and mileage.
While this specific vehicle has no recorded suspension defects, the model aggregate data suggests that suspension arms and coil springs are common failure points for the GLA range. Listen closely for any suspension-related noises when driving over uneven surfaces to ensure no issues have developed since the last MOT.
This 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLA, finished in Grey, has covered 39,482 miles as of its last MOT in March 2026. The vehicle has a consistent MOT record with five tests recorded since 2022. While it has experienced one MOT failure related to tyre wear in 2024, the two most recent tests have passed with no defects recorded.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 87.7% MOT pass rate, with suspension components and tyres being the most frequent reasons for failure.
