2016 Mercedes-Benz GLA 2.1L Diesel · PM02 ABY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted on February 2026 at 65,803 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, despite an initial failure on the same day which suggests a minor, easily rectified issue or administrative oversight was addressed immediately to secure the pass. Since 2023, the car has consistently passed its annual tests without any recurring mechanical or structural failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per annum. Between February 2023 at 50,259 miles and February 2026 at 65,803 miles, the vehicle covered 15,544 miles, indicating steady and relatively low usage. This low annual mileage generally suggests less wear on drivetrain components and braking systems compared to high-mileage examples, though it can necessitate checking rubber-based components for cracking if the vehicle sat stationary for extended periods. While the MOT history is clean of major faults, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to age-related degradation rather than mileage wear. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of perishing or fatigue, as these often affect models of this era. Given the low mileage, check for brake seizing or surface corrosion on the discs which can occur when use is infrequent. Additionally, verify the structural integrity of the underbody and sills to ensure no hidden corrosion has developed despite the clean electronic record.
