2018 Mercedes-Benz CLA 1.6L Petrol · KL64 AJL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a clean bill of health from the most recent test on 26 November 2025 at 63,741 miles. The maintenance trend is stable, though the history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The car has passed its last two tests without advisories, suggesting a recent period of adequate upkeep. The mileage is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 7,968 miles per year. Growth from 19,709 miles in November 2020 to 63,741 miles in November 2025 shows a steady usage pattern without any erratic gaps or sudden spikes in distance. This level of use generally avoids the risks associated with long-term standing, such as perished seals or seized calipers. A recurring issue with tyre wear is evident throughout the record. The tester flagged worn or perished tyres in December 2022, November 2023, and November 2024. Specifically, the November 2024 failure noted tyres worn on the edges, which often indicates poor wheel alignment or uneven loading. The repeated failure on tyre tread and the 2024 failure for an inoperative engine management light suggest the previous owner neglected basic consumables and electronic warnings until the MOT deadline. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the tyre tread depth and a professional alignment check to ensure no ongoing suspension geometry issues. While the latest test is clean, the history of washer fluid failures in 2020 and 2023 indicates a tendency to overlook simple maintenance. Check the current state of the windscreen wipers and washer jets to confirm these minor but persistent faults remain resolved.
