2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA 1.6 Urban Edition SUV

Description

I’m selling my 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA 1.6 Urban Edition – it’s been a real gem for me over the years. Only 43,639 miles on the clock, and it’s been well looked after. The Urban Edition trim gives it that refined, sleek look with the black painted 18-inch alloy wheels and all the high-gloss black detailing – front splitter, side sills, rear apron – it’s clean and tidy without looking flashy.

Inside, the 8-inch Audio 20 radio with Bluetooth and full smartphone integration (both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto) is a game-changer. I’ve used it for everything from music to navigation, and it’s super easy to switch between. The seats are comfortable, with manual front adjustments and that nice Nappa leather trim – feels like a proper luxury car even if you’re not driving daily.

The 1.6L engine is smooth and efficient – gets me from A to B without any fuss, and I’ve managed 9.0 seconds from 0 to 62mph. It’s not the fastest, but it’s plenty for everyday driving. The reversing camera, LED headlights with auto-lamp activation, and heated windscreen are all handy.

I’ve had it checked properly – MOT last August, valid until February 2026, and it’s been serviced regularly. No hidden costs, no admin fees, just straightforward ownership. I’ve also got 12 months of AA roadside cover and a 5-day drive-away insurance policy – all included.

I bought it as a family car, and it’s been great for weekend trips and weekend getaways. The boot is roomy, and the seats fold down easily. I’ve never had any major issues, and it’s been reliable through all seasons.

It’s currently based in Henley-on-Thames, South Oxfordshire, so if you’re local, I can arrange a viewing or even a quick drive around.

I’m not looking to sell it quickly, just parting ways after a few years of solid use. I’ve done a bit of research on what buyers care about – premium feel, smart tech, low running costs – and this one ticks all the boxes.

If you’re interested, I’m happy to chat or show it around. No pressure, just a real car, real use, real value.
