2020 Mercedes-Benz CLA 1.3L Petrol · ND70 ABK

The vehicle currently holds a positive roadworthiness status with an improving maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 30 August 2025 at 34,457 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. This transition from multiple advisories in 2024 to a clean sheet suggests the previous owner followed through with necessary repairs. The mileage profile reflects low usage for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,743 miles annually. There is a notable gap of 5,746 miles covered between October 2023 and August 2024, followed by an 8,073-mile stretch leading up to the 2025 test. While the low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the intervals between use can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components like suspension bushes or brake seals if the car sat stationary for long periods. A buyer conducting a physical inspection should focus on the rear braking system given the documented faults. The August 2024 test at 26,384 miles flagged a fluctuating rear service brake, worn discs, and thin pads. While the 2025 pass shows no defects, a technician should verify that the calipers are not binding and that the new components do not show signs of uneven wear. Additionally, the 2023 failure due to exposed cords on a nearside front tyre highlights that consumable maintenance was previously neglected, so the current tyre age and tread depth should be checked for sidewall cracking or uneven wear despite the low mileage.
