2016 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA2.1L Diesel

The 2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 3 June 2025 at 105,550 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The vehicle cleared every annual test from 31 May 2022 at 72,131 miles through to the latest examination without any advisories or defects logged. A single failure on 2 June 2025 at 105,530 miles shows no recorded defects, indicating an administrative or unlogged minor issue rather than a mechanical fault, resolved within one day by the subsequent pass. Annual mileage averages around 10,555 miles, consistent with typical use for a ten-year-old car. The records show steady accumulation: 83,659 miles on 30 May 2023, 94,565 miles on 31 May 2024, and 105,550 miles on 3 June 2025. No gaps or sudden spikes appear in the data, and the clean sheet across five years suggests the previous owner kept the car to a basic pass standard without deferred consumable neglect surfacing at the test bay. Given the absence of any flagged items such as worn suspension bushes, corroded structures, or binding brakes, the buyer should still commission an independent inspection of chassis integrity and underbody corrosion points common to the era. The MOT record offers no evidence of recurring mechanical trends, but a car at 105,550 miles warrants checks on brake disc thickness, coil spring condition, and exhaust emissions against manufacturer limits. The same-day fail-and-pass sequence in June 2025 implies the selling garage corrected a trivial non-compliance quickly rather than addressing deep faults. A buyer should verify the VIN and test certificate against DVSA records, and confirm no undisclosed accident repair sits behind the clean advisory history.
