2020 Mercedes-Benz CLA 1.3L Petrol · BMZ 5009

The most recent MOT, conducted on 17 December 2024 at 33,176 miles, resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable and entirely positive. Both recorded tests show no advisories, no failures, and no mechanical warnings, which indicates the vehicle has been consistently presented in a roadworthy condition throughout its recorded life. The mileage pattern is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,529 miles per year. The odometer reading at the December 2024 test is virtually identical to the recorded mileage today, suggesting the car has seen minimal use over the past eight months. There is a significant gap between the two tests, with nearly 23 months separating the January 2023 pass at 30,319 miles and the December 2024 pass. That gap is not necessarily a concern, but it does mean the vehicle stood for a long period between inspections. Because the DVSA record contains no flagged faults at all, there are no recurring mechanical trends to track. A buyer should still carry out a thorough physical inspection, focusing on brake discs and pads for corrosion or binding, particularly if the car was left standing during that long test interval. Suspension bushes and coil springs should also be checked for perishing or surface corrosion, as these components degrade with age rather than mileage alone. The clean history is a good sign, but a pre-purchase inspection by an independent garage remains the prudent final check.
