2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA 1.6L Petrol · KV18 EXZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean MOT pass in February 2026 at 76,969 miles. The maintenance trend shows a significant and recent improvement following a period of neglect in mid-2024. While the vehicle failed its test in July 2024 for multiple brake and tyre defects, the most recent inspection indicates that the owner has since addressed these mechanical concerns, resulting in a pass with no recorded defects. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,600 miles per year. Between July 2022 and July 2024, the car covered 14,754 miles, representing a steady usage profile. The interval between the July 2024 test and the February 2026 test saw 11,678 miles covered over nineteen months, suggesting the car is still used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which would otherwise contribute to the perishing of rubber components noted in earlier advisories. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system due to the recurring history of disc corrosion. The record shows persistent pitting and scoring across all four brake discs from 2022 through 2024. While the 2026 pass suggests these have been replaced or serviced, an inspector should check for even wear on the pads and ensure the calipers are not sticking. The previous history of perished sidewalls and under-inflation in 2023 and 2024 indicates a pattern of deferred basic maintenance, so a thorough check of the current tyres for cracking or uneven wear is essential.
