2021 Mercedes-Benz CLA 1.3L Petrol · AM02 AGM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, passing its most recent MOT test in May 2026. While the car passed, the maintenance trend shows a shift from perfectly clean records in previous years to a series of minor wear-related advisories. The 2026 test flagged multiple issues regarding rubber and glass, indicating that while the vehicle remains functional it is beginning to show signs of age-related degradation rather than mechanical failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,730 miles per year. The progression from 8,584 miles in May 2024 to 11,437 miles in 2025, and finally 13,651 miles in 2026, shows consistent but minimal usage. This pattern suggests the mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine is likely minimal, though it increases the risk of rubber-based components perishing due to time and stationary periods rather than tread depth. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the tyres as the 2026 record flagged all four tyres for cracking or perishing, alongside a nail embedded in the nearside front. These defects suggest the rubber compound is breaking down due to age and low use regardless of remaining tread depth. The offside windscreen also requires attention to ensure the damage does not migrate across the driver's field of vision over time. Given the low mileage, the buyer should also check for brake disc surface corrosion or pitting, as vehicles used infrequently often sit long enough and develop rust on the rotors.
