This GLA 200 is a strong performer, passing its MOT on the first attempt 90% of the time—a full 10 percentage points ahead of the UK average—with only 1.3% of vehicles ever flagged for dangerous defects, which is reassuringly low. The tiny failure rate of 0.06 per vehicle suggests owners are maintaining these cars well.

With a median mileage of just under 20,000 miles for a two-year-old car, this cohort sits slightly above the expected rate of around 12,000 miles per year, indicating these are being driven normally rather than cherished. The 0.5 advisories per vehicle is modest, pointing to minor wear items rather than systemic problems—when shopping for a used example, a pre-purchase inspection focusing on suspension and brakes will catch any outliers, but this generation is proving itself a solid, dependable buy.
