2021 Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 AMG Line Premium E A 1.3L Hybrid electric · AP71 BWA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a concerning pattern regarding basic consumable management. While the most recent test in May 2026 at 98,015 miles passed, the tester flagged an offside front tyre worn dangerously close to the legal limit with significant uneven wear. This mirrors a previous advisory from November 2024 at 79,022 miles where the nearside rear outer tyre was also noted as being worn to the edge. These recurring issues suggest a lack of attention to wheel alignment checks and suspension geometry inspections. The mileage profile is high for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 20,000 miles per annum. The rapid accumulation of miles particularly between November 2024 and May 2026, where the car covered nearly 19,000 miles in just eighteen months, indicates consistent motorway use or heavy-duty operation. This rate of use places accelerated stress on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking components compared to lower-mileage examples of this model. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry and steering components to explain the uneven tyre wear on the inner and outer edges. Control bolts, ball joints, and shock absorbers should be checked for play or signs of leakage. Given the high mileage and the repeated tyre issues, the braking system also requires an evaluation for caliper sticking or thinning discs, as the high-frequency driving often masks the end of the service life for these components.
