2015 Mercedes-Benz CLA 1.6L Petrol · BU65 AEM

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, following a successful test on 9 June 2025 at 92,566 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, although the record shows a recurring pattern of immediate failures followed by passes. In both 2024 and 2025, the vehicle failed the initial test but passed a retest three days later, suggesting that minor defects were identified and rectified specifically to pass inspection rather than through proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage progression is consistent with typical usage for an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,415 miles per annum. Between March 2023 at 88,957 miles and May 2024 at 90,633 miles, the car covered 1,676 miles, followed by another 1,933 miles in the year leading up to the June 2025 test. This indicates a steady, low-intensity usage pattern which generally reduces stress on the drivetrain and rubber-based suspension components. While the most recent MOT recorded no advisories, a buyer should perform a close inspection of the components that likely caused the previous failures. Given the age and mileage, focus on the condition of the front suspension bushes and coil springs, which often show signs of wear on this model. The braking system should also be checked for binding calipers or uneven worn discs, as the retest pattern often points to minor mechanical adjustments or consumable items that are neglected until a failure forces their attention.
