2017 Mercedes-Benz GLA 1.6L Petrol · LT17 ABX

The 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLA presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 23 September 2025 at 70,516 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend across the available history is stable, with every pass showing a clean sheet and no advisories logged. The only blemish is a failed test on 19 September 2025 at the same 70,516 miles with no defects recorded, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault, immediately rectified four days later. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,835 per year against a nine-year life, which is typical for the age. The records show measured accumulation: 37,273 miles in August 2022, 48,810 by August 2023, 59,134 in September 2024, and 70,516 by September 2025. That is about 11,000 miles added in the final year and steadier 10–11k gaps before it. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, with five tests and only the anomalous September 2025 failure, so the file gives little evidence of deferred consumable work or ignored wear. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and the lack of any advisory history to confirm hidden degradation. The clean record means no recurring corrosion, exhaust emission, or binding caliper patterns exist to chase. Verify the September 2025 failure paperwork to confirm it was clerical, then check tyre tread and wiper condition as routine consumables the MOT did not flag.
