2016 Mercedes-Benz GLA 2.1L Diesel · LP16 AEG

The vehicle remains roadworthy as of the latest MOT on 10 January 2024 at 45,680 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. A failure recorded on 9 June 2023 at 39,966 miles for thin front and rear brake pads and a pitted front disc was remedied before the January test, indicating an improving maintenance trend rather than a deteriorating one. Mileage has risen from 15,787 miles in July 2019 to 45,680 miles in January 2024, an average of roughly 6,000 miles per year. This low‑kilometre usage for a ten‑year‑old Mercedes‑Benz GLA suggests light duty rather than high‑stress operation, and the record shows no unexplained gaps or sudden spikes in mileage. The incremental growth aligns with a modest annual run‑off, reinforcing the impression of careful ownership. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the braking system. Verify that front and rear pads retain at least the statutory 1.5 mm thickness and that the front disc shows no excessive scoring or warping. Inspect the wheels for any residual nail damage that may have been present in July 2020, and confirm tyre tread depth across all four tyres. A visual check of suspension components—bushes, coil springs, and any signs of corrosion on mounting points—will further assure that no hidden wear has developed since the last pass.
