2017 Mercedes-Benz GLA 2.1L Diesel · NK67 LEJ

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive component replacement rather than preventative care. The most recent test in July 2025 at 80,447 miles passed the vehicle despite advisories for perished tyre rubber on three wheels and worn front brake discs. While the car continues to pass, the recurring nature of wear-related defects suggests the vehicle is reaching the end of the functional life for several major consumables. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between the February 2022 failure at 47,921 miles and the April 2022 pass at 50,341 miles, which indicates a period of higher usage. Since early 2022, the vehicle has covered roughly 30,000 miles over three years. This steady accumulation explains the progressive wear observed on the braking system and rubber components noted in the later MOT entries. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and tyre condition. The record highlights a history of brake disc wear, with the 2023 test flagging pitting and scoring on the rear discs and the 2025 test noting wear on the front discs. You should verify the remaining thickness of the pads and check for any glazing or uneven wear. Furthermore, the July 2025 advisory regarding cracking and perishing rubber on the front and offside rear tyres indicates that the tyres are likely out due to age and dry-rot regardless of remaining tread depth, so a full set of new tyres may be imminent.
