2018 Mercedes-Benz CLA 1.6L Petrol · AP07 ALY

The 2018 Mercedes-Benz CLA presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 15 April 2025 at 40,728 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior passes show no advisories or faults. The vehicle has cleared every examination since a single failed test in April 2023 that was reversed the next day with no defects logged, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Recorded mileage sits at 40,728 against an eight-year lifespan, an average of roughly 5,091 miles per year. The April 2024 test at 37,733 miles and April 2025 at 40,728 miles confirm low annual use with no sudden accumulation. The gap between the May 2022 test at 26,989 miles and April 2023 at 33,203 miles is the largest yearly jump at about 6,214 miles, still below typical averages. Sparse, clean records give little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. A buyer should still verify in person that the low standing mileage has not encouraged perished rubber components such as suspension bushes or door seals. The brake discs and calipers warrant a visual check for corrosion or binding after prolonged inactivity. Inspect the underbody and sills for structural rust given the car's age and outdoor storage risk. The clean advisory history means no recurring wear trends demand correction, but pre-purchase inspection of tyres, wiper blades, and fluid condition remains sensible on a lightly used vehicle of this age.
