2017 Mercedes-Benz GLA 2.1L Diesel · SA66 RAN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in October 2025 with 37,873 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory following a period of reactive repairs in late 2024. While the 2024 test highlighted mechanical concerns, the subsequent clean pass indicates that the owner addressed the flagged issues prior to the latest inspection cycle. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,200 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage over the years, moving from 24,169 miles in October 2021 to 37,873 miles by 2025. This low-frequency usage typically suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the likelihood of rubber-based parts degrading from age alone if the car sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the suspension and rubber components due to previous failures. The 2024 test at 34,396 miles flagged corroded rear coil springs on both sides, and the 2023 test noted perishing and cracking on the rear tyres. These issues are indicative of age-related degradation rather than high-mile wear. Verify the sidewalls of all tyres for cracking and check the coil springs for surface rust to ensure the corrosion has not returned since the previous repairs.
