2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA 2.0L Petrol · WU16 AAX

The 2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 August 2025 at 64,813 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and every annual examination since January 2021 has done the same. No advisories or failures appear anywhere in the five-year DVSA history, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work at the point of testing. Annual mileage has been modest and consistent for a ten-year-old car. The record shows 18,348 miles in January 2021, rising to 34,898 by January 2022, 44,097 in January 2023, 51,774 in January 2024, and 64,813 by August 2025. That averages roughly 6,481 miles per year, near typical for the age, with no sudden accumulation spikes or standing gaps beyond the longer 19-month interval between the January 2024 and August 2025 tests. The clean pass sheet across all entries suggests previous owners kept basic consumable and mechanical upkeep current rather than deferring faults. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection despite the unblemished record. The MOT only captures condition at the test date, so suspension bushes, coil springs, brake disc wear, and underbody corrosion may have developed unnoticed between examinations. The absence of advisories means no tester flagged binding calipers or exhaust emissions faults, yet rubber components and structural integrity degrade with age irrespective of mileage. Given the low yearly use, check for perishing tyres, seized handbrake mechanisms from standing, and damp-related electrical issues common on low-mileage German vehicles. The clean history supports confidence, but physical verification of chassis weld points and fluid condition remains prudent before purchase.
