This 2020 GLA 200 struggles a bit at MOT time, with a first-time pass rate of 73.5% well below the UK average of 80%, suggesting these cars are more prone to minor issues than most. The good news is that dangerous defects are rare at 4.8%, so you're not looking at safety-critical problems, though the below-average pass rate does warrant a pre-purchase inspection.
At around 28,000 miles for a four-year-old car, these examples are running below typical mileage, yet they still average 0.17 failures and 1.4 advisories per test — indicating that age and condition matter more than distance here. Before buying, have a Mercedes-specialist check the electrics and cooling system, as minor niggles seem to accumulate on this model faster than most rivals.
The 2020 Mercedes Benz Gla 200 Sport Executive Auto passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (94.6% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
These stats describe 521 vehicles as a group. The specific vehicle you're looking at could be the one good example or the one outlier. Run its registration to find out.
