2018 Mercedes-Benz CLA 1.6L Petrol · 98 GH

The 2018 Mercedes-Benz CLA presents a stable maintenance trend, though its most recent MOT test occurred on 22 May 2025 at 40,356 miles, meaning the certificate is now over a year old. The test resulted in a clean pass with zero defects recorded. This unblemished history demonstrates consistent mechanical integrity across its lifespan, with no recurring mechanical or structural issues emerging over the last four years. The recorded mileage of 40,356 miles equates to an annual average of roughly 5,044 miles, which is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle. The progression shows steady, incremental use: 20,710 miles in June 2022, 27,293 miles in June 2023, 34,645 miles in June 2024, and 40,356 miles in May 2025. This consistent accumulation suggests regular, albeit light, usage rather than prolonged periods of inactivity or sudden high-mileage bursts that could stress drivetrain components. Despite the flawless MOT record, a low-mileage vehicle of this age requires a physical inspection of components susceptible to deterioration from age rather than use. A buyer should inspect the condition of rubber suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for perishing or cracking, as these degrade over time regardless of mileage. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for surface corrosion, a common issue on vehicles covering short distances that prevents pads from bedding in properly. The exhaust system and underbody must be examined for corrosion, ensuring structural integrity remains intact despite the low mileage.
