2013 Mercedes-Benz CLA 2.1L Diesel · LL13 AEB

The 2013 Mercedes-Benz CLA presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 April 2026 at 108,319 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from February 2023 to February 2025 also passed cleanly. The only anomaly is a failed test on 20 January 2023 at 79,519 miles, reversed three days later on 23 January 2023 at the same mileage with a pass and no defects logged. This suggests an administrative or presentation error at the first attempt rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage has accumulated in line with typical use for a 13-year-old vehicle. The record shows 79,519 miles in January 2023, rising to 85,716 by February 2024, 97,420 by February 2025, and 108,319 by April 2026. That equates to roughly 8,300 to 11,000 miles per year across the documented period, with no sudden jumps or standing gaps. The clean sequence of passes across four years implies the previous owners kept basic servicing and consumable checks current. No advisories or defects appear against suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, calipers, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion in any test. The absence of flagged wear items means the MOT record alone gives no signal of impending mechanical risk. A buyer should still arrange a physical inspection of underbody condition, brake component thickness, and tyre sidewall ageing, since the DVSA data does not capture wear below test thresholds. Given the sparse but clean history, the vehicle shows no evidence of neglected upkeep or recurring faults. The repeated passes at consistent mileages reflect disciplined annual testing rather than deferred maintenance.
