2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA 180 AMG Sport Auto 1.6L Petrol · AGZ 5909

The 2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA 180 AMG Sport Auto presents a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 3 March 2025 at 107,191 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests in February 2024 at 96,006 miles and December 2022 at 86,843 miles also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failure on 28 October 2022 at 86,175 miles, though the DVSA entry lists no defects, implying an administrative or unrecorded-cause rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at roughly 10,700 miles, typical for a ten-year-old vehicle. The gap between the October 2022 failure and the December 2022 pass covers only 668 miles, suggesting the car was promptly retested. From December 2022 to February 2024 the vehicle covered 9,163 miles, then 11,185 miles to March 2025. The record is sparse but clean across three passes, with no advisories logged for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions at any stage. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as MOT passes with no advisories do not confirm absence of early-stage rust on a 2016 chassis. The front suspension arms, coil springs, and binding calipers warrant a physical check given the age and 107,000-mile accumulation. The October 2022 failure with no listed defect justifies verifying the test centre paperwork to confirm it was not a concealed brake or lighting fault. The clean advisory history implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, yet the single unexplained failure at 86,175 miles means the buyer cannot assume flawless care. Given typical wear at this mileage, budget for consumables such as tyres and wiper blades regardless of the clear MOT trail.
