Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to recent maint
When inspecting this specific grey GLA, pay close attention to the condition of the tyres and braking components. The 2023 MOT failure included multiple issues with tyre damage, cracking, and cuts, alongside pitted brake discs. You should verify if these components were replaced shortly after that failure and check for even tread wear.
Ask the seller for evidence of recent brake and tyre replacements to ensure the issues identified in November 2023 were fully rectified. Given the 2.1L diesel engine, also check for any signs of oil leaks or excessive smoke, which can be common in high-mileage diesel units, though no specific engine faults are noted in this MOT history.
As a 2143cc diesel, this GLA will likely sit in a mid-range insurance group and tax band. Fuel economy should be reasonable for a compact SUV, though actual figures will depend on driving style and load.
Maintenance costs for Mercedes-Benz models typically trend higher than economy brands. You should budget for more frequent tyre replacements and brake servicing, especially given the wear patterns observed in the 2023 MOT records. Estimated annual running costs are approximately £1,400-£1,700, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance.
Focus heavily on the wheels and tyres. The 2023 MOT history recorded failures for offside front, nearside front, nearside rear, and offside rear tyres due to cuts, perishing, and being worn close to the legal limit. Ensure all four tyres are relatively new and free from sidewall cracking.
Inspect the brake discs and pads thoroughly. The records show both front and rear discs were noted as pitted or scored in 2023. Check for any vibration when braking, which could indicate warped or poorly replaced discs. Additionally, while no suspension issues were recorded for this specific vehicle, the aggregate data for this model shows suspension arms and drive shaft joints as common failure points, so listen for knocks or clunks during a test drive.
This 2014 Mercedes-Benz GLA features a 2.1L diesel engine and has covered 88,339 miles as of its last MOT in November 2024. The vehicle's history shows a significant cluster of failures in late 2023 relating to tyres and brake discs. While the 2024 test showed no defects, the mileage is higher than the model average of 7,871 per year.
Aggregate data for this model shows a pass rate of 87.8%, with common failures occurring in brake pads, drive shaft joints, and suspension arms.
