2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA 2.1L Diesel · WU16 AHD

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT history, indicating a stable and high standard of mechanical maintenance. The most recent test on 3 March 2026 at 81,427 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the preceding four years, suggesting the car has been kept in a roadworthy condition without the emergence of chronic mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,143 miles per year. There is a steady increase in distance between tests, such as the 5,974 mile gap between December 2022 and January 2024, and a further 5,974 miles added by February 2025. The record shows a brief failure and immediate pass on 31 January 2024 at 70,461 miles, though the lack of listed defects suggests this was likely a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical failure. Because the DVSA record is devoid of advisories, there are no specific recurring faults such as suspension bush wear, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust leaks to highlight. This absence of flagged issues implies a diligent approach to preventative maintenance by the previous owners. A physical inspection should still focus on common wear items that do not always trigger MOT failures unless they reach a critical limit. Check the condition of the tyre treads and the depth of the brake pads to ensure they are not nearing the end of their service life. Given the vehicle's age and the lack of structural advisories, a quick check for underbody corrosion remains prudent, though the clean history suggests the chassis integrity is likely sound.
