2021 Mercedes-Benz CLA 220 AMG Line Premium + D A 1.9L Diesel · KO21 ABU

The most recent MOT test on 2025-07-10 confirms this Mercedes-Benz CLA remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded at 36,043 miles. The absence of advisories or failures across the last three tests—including the June 2025 and July 2025 passes—indicates a stable maintenance pattern. The vehicle has not experienced recurring issues that would suggest neglect or impending mechanical failure, though the 2024 test date includes a duplicate entry (both pass and fail at 21,738 miles), which may warrant clarification from the seller regarding the retest. The mileage progression suggests typical usage for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging around 7,209 miles annually. There are no abrupt spikes or prolonged gaps in service, though the 2024-2025 interval shows a slower accumulation—only 14,305 miles over 13 months—compared to the 2021-2024 period, where 21,738 miles were logged in just under three years. This shift could imply reduced driving frequency or seasonal storage, which may have spared some wear-and-tear components. Given the clean MOT history, priority should be given to inspecting high-wear items not directly tested by the MOT, such as suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or excessive play, particularly in the front where AMG Line vehicles often experience accelerated stress. The brakes, while MOT-cleared, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been stored for extended periods. Corrosion around the wheel arches, sills, and underbody should also be examined, as the CLA’s alloy construction can be susceptible to rust progression over time. Finally, verify the integrity of the exhaust system for leaks or damaged mounting brackets, as emissions systems in AMG models are prone to stress from performance modifications.
