2018 Mercedes-Benz CLA 1.6L Petrol · 4004 NF

The 2018 Mercedes-Benz CLA exhibits a stable and consistently clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 2 October 2025 at 72,806 miles passed with zero defects recorded. This follows three consecutive flawless passes, demonstrating a reliable mechanical baseline with no recurring faults or advisories to indicate a worsening condition. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,100 miles annually. Between the September 2023 test at 48,024 miles and the October 2024 test at 61,013 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 13,000 miles. The subsequent twelve months saw a notable reduction in usage, accumulating only 11,793 miles up to the October 2025 test. The record shows no gaps in testing and reflects a consistent, if slightly reduced, recent usage pattern. Despite the impeccable MOT history, a physical inspection remains essential to verify the structural and mechanical integrity of a vehicle approaching 73,000 miles. Buyers should closely examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of deterioration, as these components endure significant stress over this mileage. Inspect the brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or binding, and check the exhaust system for corrosion. Although the MOT records show no advisories, verifying the condition of the tyres and the structural integrity of the underbody will confirm whether the recent lower mileage reflects gentle use or prolonged standing.
