2017 Mercedes-Benz CLA 1.6L Petrol · EA17 AFU

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a stable and consistent maintenance trend. The most recent test conducted on 5 November 2025 at 83,013 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets all legal safety requirements. This follows a period of clean passes dating back at least three years, suggesting that the previous owners have proactively addressed any minor issues before they could escalate into MOT failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,200 miles per year. Between February 2023 at 62,488 miles and November 2025 at 83,013 miles, the car covered just over 20,000 miles, which represents a steady usage profile. The interval of 7,312 miles between the September 2024 and November 2025 tests shows the vehicle remains in regular use without the risks associated with long periods of standing that can lead to rubber degradation or brake fluid-related corrosion. While the digital record is remarkably clean, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components subject to wear at the 80,000-mile mark. Specifically examine the front suspension bushes and control arms for signs of tearing, as these often show fatigue on Mercedes models of this age. Given the lack of recorded brake binding issues or uneven pad wear in the history, verify the discs for scoring or excessive thinning to ensure the braking system remains as sharp as the MOT results suggest. Check the underbody for any surface corrosion, although the lack of structural advisories in recent years suggests the chassis has remained in a dry environment.
