2017 Mercedes-Benz GLA 2.1L Diesel · LS17 HYX

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 12 January 2026 at 72,388 miles, showing a clean pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This represents a positive trend in maintenance, as the previous three annual inspections consistently identified consumable items requiring attention. The absence of any recorded faults in the most recent test suggests that the current owner has addressed the recurring tyre and brake issues that characterised the vehicle's history between 2022 and 2025. Accumulating 72,388 miles over a nine-year period results in an average of approximately 8,043 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this class. The mileage progression remains linear and predictable across all recorded test dates, indicating that the car has been used regularly rather than left standing for extended periods. There are no significant gaps in the testing cycle, and the steady increase in odometer readings suggests a consistent duty cycle without evidence of excessive short-trip urban wear or high-mileage motorway fatigue. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the suspension geometry and alignment, as the MOT history frequently flagged tyres worn on the edge. This recurring pattern often points to tracking issues or worn suspension bushes that may not have been fully resolved despite the tyres being replaced. While the brake pads were noted as wearing thin in 2023, the current clean bill of health implies these were replaced, but you should still verify the remaining thickness on the discs and pads to ensure they match the current mileage. Check for any uneven tyre wear patterns during your viewing to confirm that the previous alignment concerns have been properly corrected.
