2018 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA2.1L Diesel

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, the September 2025 test recording a pass at 59,012 miles with only offside and nearside front tyre wear advisories (5.2.3 (e)). The maintenance trend is improving; the brake‑pad and tyre failures recorded in May 2021 and May 2022 have not reappeared, and the most recent inspection shows no mechanical defects beyond expected consumable wear. Mileage accumulation shows a steady increase from 20,046 miles in May 2021 to 59,012 miles in September 2025, averaging roughly 9,000 miles per year—slightly above the typical 7,376 miles/year for an eight‑year‑old vehicle. Test intervals are regular, with a duplicate entry on 2022‑05‑11 (both a pass at 27,104 miles and a fail at 27,014 miles) and a similar pair on 2021‑05‑12, indicating immediate retests after failures rather than a gap in coverage. A buyer should inspect the front tyres for edge wear, cuts, and proper inflation, verify the tyre pressure monitoring system for any active warnings, examine brake pads and discs for wear indicators and uneven disc condition, and check the under‑shield fittings for corrosion or damage. These areas have been the recurring points of concern in the MOT history and merit close visual and tactile assessment before purchase.
