2016 Mercedes-Benz GLA 200 D AMG Line 2.1L Diesel · SH16 VOD

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent pass on 28 February 2026 at 108,742 miles. This pass showed no recorded defects, despite a failed test just two weeks prior at 108,041 miles. The record shows no specific defects for that February failure, suggesting a potential administrative error or a minor technical issue that was rectified immediately, as the vehicle has maintained a clean sheet of passes for the preceding three years. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical annual usage for this age, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. Between the November 2022 test at 76,157 miles and the January 2025 test at 96,085 miles, the car covered roughly 20,000 miles. The more recent jump of 12,657 miles between January 2025 and February 2026 indicates a period of higher use. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods standing, which helps prevent seal degradation and corrosion of rubber components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension system and braking assembly, as high-mileage Mercedes models often show wear on bushes and brake calipers. While the MOT history is clean of structural failures, the mileage warrants a close check for worn control arm bushings and signs of leaking shock absorbers. The 2022 advisory regarding a child seat obstructing a seat belt inspection is a minor operational note, but it highlights the need to ensure all belt mechanisms function correctly and are free of fraying during the physical walkthrough.
