2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA 1.6L Petrol · OY68 UAW

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend despite minor recurring electrical faults. The most recent test in February 2026 at 67,152 miles resulted in a pass with only an inoperative registration plate lamp. This represents a slight improvement from the 2025 test, which flagged multiple tyre-related issues and lighting failures. The absence of defects in early 2024 suggests that the core mechanical and structural components remained within tolerance during that period. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per annum. There is a significant increase in usage between February 2025 and February 2026, where the vehicle covered 30,652 miles in a single year. Prior to this spike, the usage was much lower, covering only 18,000 miles between 2021 and 2025. This recent surge in mileage often accelerates the wear on consumables such as brakes and suspension components compared to the previous years. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyres and wheels, as the record shows a history of uneven wear, perishing, and reaching legal limits between 2021 and 2025. The 2025 advisory specifically noted edge wear on front tyres, which indicates potential alignment issues or worn bushings. Additionally, the low emission reading recorded in 2021 warrants a check of the exhaust system and sensor health to ensure performance remains optimal following the recent high mileage period. No structural corrosion or brake binding issues were flagged, but the recurring registration lamp failures suggest a lack of proactive attention to minor electrical bulbs.
