2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA 2.1L Diesel · NV67 FTT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 15 December 2025 at 98,472 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable in terms of passing tests, though the history reveals a consistent pattern of immediate 시험 failure. In both 2024 and 2025, the vehicle failed its initial test only five days before a successful re-test. This suggests the owner only addresses mechanical issues once they are officially flagged by a DVSA tester, rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance to avoid test failures. At 8 years old, the 98,472 recorded miles represent an average of approximately 12,300 miles per year, which exceeds the national average for a passenger car. The data shows a significant surge in usage between December 2023 (81,104 miles) and December 2024 (95,158 miles), covering over 14,000 miles in a single year. This high annual mileage puts accelerated pressure on high-wear components such as suspension bushings, shock absorbers, and drivetrain assemblies. The lack of recorded advisories across all tests indicates that while the car is used heavily, it has not yet shown signs of significant structural corrosion or major mechanical degradation. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the lower suspension and braking system, as the high mileage often leads to worn control arms and perished ball joints. Given the recurring failures followed by immediate passes, it is vital to check for signs of fluid leaks or thinning brake pads that may have been replaced just prior to the tests. While the MOT record is clean of structural defects, the long-term reliability of a high-mileage Mercedes depends on whether the owner has followed a strict service schedule beyond the basic requirements of the annual MOT test.
