2017 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA1.6L Petrol

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 29 September 2025 at 71,987 miles with no defects. The maintenance trend is generally stable, though the last two years show a shift from clean passes to failures requiring immediate rectification. The most recent failure on 22 September 2025 involved a fractured nearside rear coil spring, a common wear item that was resolved within a week to secure the pass. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the car, averaging roughly 8,000 miles per year. There is a notable increase in annual usage between October 2023 and September 2024, where the odometer rose from 46,725 to 59,488 miles. This period of higher activity coincides with the September 2024 failure for exposed ply and cords on both front tyres. Failing an MOT on two tyres worn to the cords suggests a lapse in basic preventative maintenance during that period. A buyer should specifically inspect the suspension and tyre condition. While the fractured coil spring was replaced in 2025, the opposite side should be checked for similar fatigue. The 2024 tyre failures indicate the previous owner may have neglected consumable wear, so a thorough check of the remaining tread depth and the condition of the brake discs and pads is advisable. The overall record is clean regarding structural integrity and emissions. No mentions of corrosion or exhaust leaks appear across the eight recorded tests. Aside from the two instances of negligence regarding tyres and a single suspension failure, the vehicle has a history of passing without advisories, suggesting the core mechanical components have remained in good order.
