2016 Mercedes-Benz GLA 2.1L Diesel · ML16 OUG

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 September 2025 at 78,721 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of passing tests over the last decade, suggesting a vehicle that has been kept in a condition compliant with minimum legal standards. The mileage is typical for a ten year old car, averaging roughly 7,872 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady, increasing from 25,453 miles in March 2019 to the current 78,721 miles. There are no suspicious mileage gaps or sudden spikes that would indicate periods of neglect or excessive commercial use. The history shows a recurring issue with tyre maintenance. The car failed on 27 March 2023 at 58,795 miles due to cuts in both front tyres, and the September 2024 test at 70,303 miles flagged an offside front inner tyre worn close to the legal limit. These entries suggest a tendency to overlook tyre wear and alignment, particularly on the offside front. A buyer should specifically check the current tread depth and alignment of the front tyres to ensure no ongoing camber issues are causing premature inner-edge wear. While the March 2022 test at 49,377 miles noted a corroded nearside rear brake pipe, the lack of subsequent mentions suggests this was addressed or is not currently progressing. A physical inspection of the brake lines for surface corrosion is advised given the age of the vehicle.
