2014 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA2.0L Petrol

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 30 December 2025 at 86,847 miles with no defects recorded. The vehicle has cleared every test since December 2023 without advisories, indicating consistent mechanical condition across the past three years. The December 2022 failure at 66,984 miles recorded no specific defects, with a pass issued two days later at 67,000 miles, suggesting the initial failure related to administrative or non-mechanical grounds rather than a substantive fault. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,237 miles against the vehicle's twelve-year life, a typical usage profile for this age of car. The records show steady accumulation: 67,000 miles in December 2022, 74,229 in December 2023, 80,141 in January 2025, and 86,847 in December 2025. The gap between the December 2023 and January 2025 entries reflects a twelve-month rather than thirteen-month cycle, with about 5,900 miles covered in that period. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, showing clean sheets across four passes, which implies the previous keeper maintained the car to a standard that avoided advisory flags on tyres, brakes, suspension, or emissions. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and the absence of any recorded advisories that might otherwise reveal wear trends. The 2022 failure with no defects logged warrants verification that the vehicle was not subject to a previously undisclosed structural or corrosion issue later rectified off-record. Examine the exhaust system and underbody for corrosion, as twelve-year-old Mercedes models commonly develop rust on structural members absent from MOT advisories until advanced. Given the clean test history and moderate mileage, the CLA shows no recurring mechanical pattern requiring alarm. The owner appears to have kept basic upkeep current, with no flags for binding calipers, worn tyres, or failing emissions across the record. Confirm service history matches the odometer and inspect for intermittent electrical faults not captured by MOT testing.
