2016 Mercedes-Benz GLA 2.1L Diesel · LP65 UHH

The 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLA presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 June 2025 at 86,573 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 30 July 2024 at 83,013 miles confirms the vehicle has cleared two consecutive annual examinations without advisories. This indicates the current keeper has maintained the car to a standard that satisfies DVSA requirements. Recorded mileage sits at 86,573 against a ten-year lifespan, averaging roughly 8,657 miles per year which is typical for the age. The jump from 75,704 miles on 14 March 2023 to 82,997 miles on 29 July 2024 shows about 7,300 miles added in sixteen months, a normal accumulation rate. The history is sparse and clean outside two same-day fail-pass pairs in 2023 and 2024 where the tester logged no defects, suggesting administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and the absence of any recorded advisories that might otherwise reveal wear trends. The repeated no-defect failures on 14 March 2023 and 29 July 2024 at identical mileages within a day imply the vehicle was presented without fault yet initially rejected, so verify the VIN and test certificate authenticity at point of sale. No structural corrosion, exhaust emission breaches, or binding caliper reports appear in the record. The lack of recurring mechanical flags points to a sound example, though pre-purchase checks on underbody integrity and tyre condition remain prudent given the GLA's exposed subframes.
