Hi All hopefully I'm posting in the correct place
I'm thinking of purchasing a 2017 GLA 200d with 4 matic are there any known faults with this car especially with the 4 matic?
Thanks for any advice

No real issues with the 4-Matic, being right hand drive MB 4x4‘s can crab on full lock which can be disconcerting for owners and lead to tyre wear.

I’d be more concerned about having a Euro-6 diesel with AdBlue. Unless you’re doing serious miles (>20k pa) petrol is recommended these days

There a pretty solid car , I had one on loan for a few weeks and found it gave me back ache as I was leaning down to see through the windscreen and I’m 5ft 10 ! I’ve not heard of the GLA having crabbing issues tho, test drive the 200d tho as it’s not the most powerful of cars also the off-road pack was the desired option. Stick some all season tyres on and it will be a great all year car.
