Our Verdict
Strongly recommended for buyers seeking
Given the very low annual mileage, it is critical to verify the service history. Diesel engines can be prone to carbon build-up if used primarily for short urban trips; check that oil and filter changes have been performed based on time intervals rather than just mileage. Ensure the service book is stamped to confirm the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation.
When negotiating, check the current age and brand of the tyres. While the 2023 advisory for a worn offside front tyre was resolved, older tyres on low-mileage cars can perish or 'flat-spot' even if they have plenty of tread remaining.
The 2143cc diesel engine provides a balance of torque and efficiency suitable for motorway cruising. Running costs will be influenced by the 2015 tax bracket and insurance group for a premium compact SUV. Maintenance costs for Mercedes-Benz vehicles are generally higher than for mass-market brands due to parts and labour rates.
Annual costs will include the road tax, insurance, and a recommended annual service. For a driver doing average mileage, the estimated annual running cost is likely to be in the mid-range for this class of vehicle.
Although the MOT history for this specific car is clean, model aggregate data shows that brake pads, drive shaft joints, and suspension arms are common failure points for the GLA. Pay close attention to these components during a test drive, listening for knocks or vibrations from the front end.
Inspect the tyres for any uneven wear or cracking, referencing the 2023 MOT advisory regarding the offside front tyre worn on the edge. Additionally, check all rubber seals and wipers for signs of perishing, which can occur when a car is driven as infrequently as this example has been.
This silver 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA diesel has recorded just 30,893 miles as of its June 2026 MOT. The vehicle has a consistent record of five consecutive MOT passes since 2022, with only one minor advisory regarding tyre wear in 2023. It has been used significantly less than the average GLA, making it a rare low-mileage specimen.
The GLA maintains a solid reputation with an aggregate MOT pass rate of 87.7%, with most failures linked to standard wear-and-tear items.
