2016 Mercedes-Benz GLA 2.1L Diesel · WA16 ABK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the recent inspection history. The most recent test conducted on 27 June 2025 at 70,831 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following an initial failure on the same day that curiously listed no defects. This suggests a potential administrative error or a testing glitch that was rectified immediately, as the vehicle has maintained a clean record without any recurring mechanical failures over the last three years. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage profile, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. Between the August 2022 test at 47,820 miles and the August 2023 test at 57,703 miles, the car covered 10,000 miles. The more recent interval saw 8,061 miles covered between July 2024 and June 2025. This steady, moderate usage typically reduces the strain on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage examples of the same age. Since the MOT record shows no advisories regarding structural corrosion or mechanical wear, a buyer should focus on the physical condition of rubber components that age with time regardless of mileage. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or perishing, given the vehicle's ten-year age. Check the brake discs for surface pitting and seized calipers, as low-mileage vehicles can suffer from surface rust if they are not driven frequently.
