2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA 1.6L Petrol · SM68 VFD

The 2025-07-03 MOT at 23,521 miles passed without any defects, indicating a stable maintenance record and current roadworthiness. The tester raised no advisories, confirming that the vehicle meets the required standards as of the latest test. The mileage trajectory shows a low annual average of roughly 2,940 miles, yet the intervals between tests reveal accelerating usage: from 6,802 miles in November 2021 to 9,953 miles a year later, then to 15,311 miles by November 2023, and a jump to 17,405 miles in March 2024 before reaching the present odometer reading. The three‑year span from 2021 to 2023 saw modest increases, while the period from March 2024 to July 2025 added over 10,000 miles in just over three months, suggesting the car has been driven more intensively recently. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or binding, test the rear brake calipers for binding, inspect the brake discs for scoring or corrosion, and check the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust that could compromise integrity. The tester should also verify exhaust emissions and structural integrity, as the record shows no prior failures but does not guarantee absence of hidden corrosion. Given the low overall mileage, consumable items such as tyres and wiper blades may appear serviceable, yet the recent mileage surge warrants a close look at the drivetrain and suspension components to confirm that wear has not outpaced the odometer reading.
