Our Verdict
This grey 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA presents a remarkably clean MOT test history across all recorded examinations. With 74,990 miles on the clock and five consecutive trouble-free tests, it represents a straightforward prospective purchase.
When inspecting this grey GLA, verify that the paperwork supports the recorded mileage progression from 38,318 miles in September 2022 to 74,990 miles in August 2026. Because MOT tests only check minimum roadworthiness standards at a specific moment, ensure you conduct a thorough physical check of the bodywork, interior electronics, and mechanical components. Negotiate based on the current market value for a 2018 petrol crossover with nearly 75,000 miles, and check that all dashboard warning lights clear correctly upon startup.
Running costs for this 1595cc petrol Mercedes-Benz will include standard VED (Vehicle Excise Duty) based on its September 2018 registration date, alongside typical insurance groupings for a compact luxury crossover. Fuel economy will vary depending on urban versus motorway driving cycles. Maintenance costs should reflect standard Mercedes-Benz parts pricing, though you should factor in routine servicing, tyre replacements, and consumables alongside your annual fuel and insurance budget.
Pay close attention to wear and tear items that may not have triggered an MOT advisory but are typical for a vehicle approaching 75,000 miles. Inspect the alloy wheels for curbing, check the tread depth and wear patterns across all four tyres, and test all cabin climate control, infotainment, and safety systems. Although the MOT history from 2022 to 2026 shows zero recorded defects or advisories, a physical inspection underneath the vehicle is still recommended to check for any early signs of corrosion, suspension wear, or fluid leaks.
This petrol-powered 1.5-litre Mercedes-Benz GLA was first registered in September 2018 and has covered 74,990 miles. Its MOT history is exceptionally tidy, showing five consecutive passes with zero defects or advisories noted during tests in 2022, 2023, 2024, and two separate tests in 2026. The consistent pass record indicates that past statutory tests were cleared without requiring rectification work.
No aggregate model reliability data is available for this specific Mercedes-Benz GLA variant.
