2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA 2.1L Diesel · AY11 RAG

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. Following a failure in October 2022 at 62,986 miles, the car has passed three consecutive annual inspections without any recorded defects. The most recent test conducted in May 2025 at 79,379 miles indicates that the current owner is effectively maintaining the vehicle to meet DVSA standards. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage levels for a twelve-year-old vehicle. The data shows a steady progression of use, moving from 63,194 miles in November 2022 to 79,379 miles in May 2025. This regularity suggests the car has not been subjected to long periods of stagnation, which often leads to rubber degradation and fluid contamination, nor has it undergone the excessive stress of high-mileage commuting. While the MOT history is currently clean of mechanical advisories, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age-related wear rather than mileage. Given the vehicle's age, a close check of the suspension bushes and bushings for perishing is necessary, as these often degrade over time regardless of distance. The brakes should also be inspected for signs of caliper sticking or thinning, and the structural integrity of the chassis should be verified to ensure no hidden corrosion has developed since the last recorded test.
