2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA 1.6L Petrol · TC02 ACE

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following its most recent test in September 2025 at 53,832 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement after a significant lapse in care during late 2024. While the 2025 test only identified a minor issue with a nail in the offside rear tyre, the previous failure indicates that the owner previously neglected basic safety consumables before being forced to address them. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical use for a vehicle this age, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. This low-mileage profile generally suggests less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components. The record shows steady progression from 40,576 miles in 2022 to over 53,000 miles in the present day. The gap between 2023 and 2024 represents a slight spike in usage of nearly 5,000 miles which coincides with the mechanical failures recorded during that period. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the tyre set, as the 2024 failure revealed multiple tyres with perished sidewalls and exposed cords, suggesting the vehicle may have sat stationary for long periods between services. Check for uniform age cracking in the rubber to ensure recent replacements are not also aged. Furthermore, the 2024 failure regarding an inoperative engine management indicator light requires verification to ensure the underlying sensor fault was properly cleared and is not a recurring electronic issue that could degrade fuel economy or engine performance.
