2017 Mercedes-Benz GLA 1.6L Petrol · NU67 MMJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent MOT history indicates a sharp decline in proactive maintenance. While it passed the test in September 2025 at 72,598 miles, this followed a significant failure just six days prior at 72,497 miles. This sequence suggests the previous owner neglected basic safety items until a formal test forced repairs, marking a transition from a clean record in 2024 to a reactive maintenance pattern in the present. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical light-use cycles, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. The record shows a steady increase from 46,274 miles in September 2022 to 72,598 miles in late 2025. However, the 10,460-mile gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests coincides with the sudden failure of multiple mechanical components, implying that the vehicle has reached a stage where wear items are reaching the end of their life simultaneously without scheduled service intervals. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension and braking system with diligence. The September 2025 failure flagged a fractured nearside front coil spring and thin front brake pads, indicating that the suspension and braking components are operating at the limit of failure. Furthermore, the recurring mention of all four tyres being worn to the legal limit or on the edges suggests potential alignment issues or incorrect tyre pressures that have not been addressed. Verify that the replacement spring was fitted correctly and ensure the cut nearside front tyre has not caused secondary damage to the wheel or rim.
