2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA 2.1L Diesel · JT65 GLA

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status having passed its most recent MOT on 27 November 2025 at 69,910 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a recurring pattern of immediate failures followed by passes. In both December 2024 and November 2025, the vehicle failed the initial test but passed upon re-test, suggesting that the previous owner addressed specific defects only upon failure rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is consistent with low-intensity urban use, averaging approximately 6,355 miles per year over its eleven-year life. Between November 2023 at 51,012 miles and December 2024 at 67,767 miles, the car covered 16,755 miles in a single year, which represents a significant spike compared to its average. However, the usage returned to a more moderate pace thereafter. This low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it increases the risk of rubber-based components degrading or brake components seizing during periods of inactivity. While the recent passes show no outstanding advisories, the repeated failures indicate that the vehicle frequently operates at the limit of legal compliance. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking, as these often trigger the types of failures seen. Given the age of the Mercedes and the low mileage, check for corrosion on the exhaust system and the condition of the brake discs, as low-use vehicles are prone to surface pitting and binding calipers.
