2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA 2.0L Petrol · L18 KCK

The 2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 7 May 2025 at 76,167 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior annual tests in May 2024, May 2023, and May 2022 each passed cleanly, showing no advisories or escalating mechanical concerns across the recorded history. The vehicle's upkeep pattern reflects consistent statutory testing and no outstanding wear flags. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,600 miles per year against the 76,167 miles recorded at the latest test. The odometer advanced from 33,571 miles on 20 May 2022 to 45,500 miles by 15 May 2023, then 62,230 miles on 3 May 2024, and 76,167 miles on 7 May 2025, a steady annual increase of around 13,000 to 14,000 miles in later years after lighter early use. The MOT data is sparse on faults, with only a single failed entry on 20 May 2022 at 33,571 miles showing no recorded defects, suggesting an administrative or emission-readiness rejection rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear given the age and the absence of any advisory capture in the record. The clean test history offers no evidence of corrosion, binding calipers, or exhaust emission breaches, but the lack of flagged consumable wear across 43,000 miles of recent use may mean components were replaced outside the test regime or simply remained within limits. Verify the 2022 failure reason through DVSA archives before purchase, and confirm service records for drivetrain and timing chain intervals on this Mercedes unit. The vehicle's documented care implies a previous owner who maintained statutory compliance, though physical inspection remains essential to validate unseen structural integrity.
