2016 Mercedes-Benz GLA 2.1L Diesel · MT66 VBN

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted in October 2025 at 43,434 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates a remarkably stable maintenance trend where the vehicle has been operated and maintained within parameters that have not triggered the mechanical failures or structural degradation typically seen in cars of this age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old Mercedes, averaging approximately 4,343 miles per year. Between October 2021 and October 2025, the car covered 20,425 miles, showing a consistent annual usage pattern of roughly 5,000 miles. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, as the vehicle has been presented at the standard twelve-month intervals. Such low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain components and braking system, though it also implies the potential for dry rot in components if the vehicle sat stationary for extended periods. While the digital record shows no recurring faults, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage storage. A buyer should check the rubber elements in the suspension for cracking or sidewalling, as the low usage does not prevent age-related material degradation. The brake discs should be inspected for pitting or surface corrosion which often occurs when vehicles are not driven frequently enough to clear rust. Given the lack of advisories regarding corrosion or structural integrity, the chassis appears to be well-cared for, but service history should be verified to ensure oil changes were performed annually despite the low mileage intervals.
