2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA 2.1L Diesel · LS65 TSZ

The 2024‑07‑18 MOT at 56,949 miles passed with no defects, indicating the vehicle remains roadworthy and the maintenance record shows no worsening trend. The GLA is 11 years old with 56,949 miles, averaging 5,177 miles per year, which is low for its age and suggests limited use or extended periods of inactivity. The 2022‑06‑25 test recorded 43,177 miles and was initially failed before passing after a re‑test on the same day, while the 2024‑07‑15 failure at 56,883 miles was followed by a pass four days later at 56,949 miles, demonstrating that recent remedial work has kept the car compliant without introducing new faults. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension system, specifically the bushes and coil springs, which have shown no recorded issues but merit close visual and tactile inspection for wear or binding. The brake assembly, including the calipers and discs, should be examined for binding or uneven wear, as the 2024 failure was linked to a brake‑related advisory despite no defect being logged. Structural integrity must be assessed for corrosion on the chassis, wheel arches and underbody, and the exhaust system should be checked for cracks or excessive corrosion that could affect emissions. Overall, the vehicle’s recent MOT history reflects a stable maintenance pattern with no recurring serious faults, but the low mileage combined with age means a thorough in‑person inspection of suspension components, brake hardware, structural rust and exhaust condition is essential before purchase.
