2015 Mercedes-Benz CLA 2.1L Diesel · AD13 ABY

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-11-12 at 119,228 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but this follows a failed test on the same date and mileage, which also listed no defects. This inconsistency suggests either a data entry error or an ambiguous testing outcome. Previous tests from 2024-11-09 (112,301 miles) and 2023-11-07 (105,343 miles) showed similar patterns, with passes and fails recorded at identical mileages. The lack of defect details in any test limits the ability to assess mechanical trends, though the absence of recorded issues in the latest pass implies no critical failures at that time. Overall, the maintenance history shows no clear worsening or improvement, but the repeated fails without explanations raise concerns about reliability. The vehicle’s mileage of 119,228 miles aligns with an average of 10,839 miles annually, which is typical for its 11-year age. The MOT tests are spaced approximately 12 months apart, with consistent mileage increments between 105,343 and 119,228 miles. No significant gaps or rapid accumulation are evident, suggesting regular use and testing. However, the repetition of fails and passes at the same mileage in 2023 and 2025 complicates interpretation. The data lacks depth, making it difficult to confirm whether issues were resolved or if testing outcomes were inconsistent. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension, brakes, and exhaust system, as these are common areas of concern for vehicles of this age and mileage. The absence of recorded corrosion or structural issues in MOTs is reassuring, but the lack of defect details means hidden problems could exist. Pay particular attention to brake components, as repeated testing without recorded faults may mask gradual wear. Additionally, verify the vehicle’s service history to confirm if maintenance was performed as expected, given the ambiguous MOT records.
