Our Verdict
A solid option for those seeking a premi
When inspecting this specific black GLA, prioritise checking the braking system. The 2024 MOT noted front brake discs that were worn, pitted, or scored; ensure you verify that these were replaced or rectified. You should also check the condition of the rear indicator lenses, as these were previously noted as discoloured.
Request a detailed service history to complement the MOT data. Since this is a 1.6L petrol model, look for evidence of regular oil changes and spark plug replacements. Given the mileage is approaching 80,000, check if any major scheduled maintenance, such as transmission fluid changes or cooling system inspections, has been carried out.
The 1595cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group, though your specific rating will depend on your personal profile. Fuel economy for the GLA typically sits in the mid-to-high range for compact SUVs, making it suitable for mixed driving.
Maintenance costs for Mercedes-Benz vehicles tend to be higher than for mainstream brands, particularly for specialist parts. Expect typical servicing costs to reflect the premium nature of the brand. An estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, is roughly £1,800-£2,300.
Focus your physical inspection on the braking components and the exterior lighting. The MOT history specifically flagged worn and pitted front brake discs in 2024, so look for any signs of uneven wear or pulsation when testing the brakes during a test drive.
Additionally, inspect the rear indicator housings for any cloudiness or discolouration, as this was a recorded advisory in 2024. Finally, check the suspension and drive shaft area; while this specific vehicle hasn't failed for these, they are identified as common failure points for the GLA model aggregate data.
This 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA features a 1.6L petrol engine and has covered 75,892 miles as of its last MOT in July 2026. The MOT history shows a steady progression of mileage, with the most recent two tests recording no defects. While there was a minor issue with brake discs in 2024, the vehicle has maintained a consistent pass rate throughout its history.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 87.7% MOT pass rate, with common issues typically involving brake pads, drive shaft joints, and suspension arms.
