2016 Mercedes-Benz GLA 2.1L Diesel · LU12 ADE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent inspection. Although the record shows a failure on 5 March 2026 at 86,119 miles, the car passed the following day on 6 March with no recorded defects. This suggests a minor administrative issue or a transient sensor fault that was immediately rectified rather than a systemic mechanical failure. Since 2023, the vehicle has maintained a clean testing record without any advisories or recurring faults. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles annually. The data shows steady accumulation from 55,974 miles in June 2023 to 86,119 miles in March 2026. A notable gap of 16,000 miles recorded between April 2025 and March 2026 indicates a period of higher usage compared to the previous year. However, this regular use is generally beneficial as it helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and seals often associated with long periods standing. Given that the MOT history contains no recorded advisories regarding structural corrosion or brake components, a physical inspection should focus on verifying the condition of consumable wear items. A buyer should check for play in suspension bushes and coil springs, which are common points of wear on this model at this mileage. The brake discs and pads should be examined for uneven wear or excessive pitting, as the MOT record does not have specifically flagged any binding calipers or thinning material in previous tests.
