2018 Mercedes-Benz CLA 1.6L Petrol · BL68 XYB

The vehicle presents a stable, well-maintained roadworthiness trend, culminating in a clean pass during the most recent MOT on 23 April 2026 at 55,401 miles. The record shows a pass and a fail logged on the same day with no defects recorded, which typically indicates a retest following an initial abort or a minor rectification, rather than a recurring mechanical fault. Ultimately, the car left the test station with a valid certificate and zero advisories, reflecting sound mechanical condition. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,925 miles annually. Between the January 2024 test at 41,600 miles and the April 2024 test at 42,373 miles, the car covered only 773 miles in three months, suggesting a period of lighter use or short-journey commuting. From April 2024 to April 2025, the mileage increased by 6,331 miles, and from April 2025 to April 2026, it rose by 6,697 miles, demonstrating a consistent and steady annual uptick without any alarming spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. Given the absence of recurring faults or structural advisories in the official record, the maintenance history implies a diligent previous owner who kept on top of consumable replacements and preventative upkeep. However, a physical inspection remains essential. A buyer should verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for any premature wear, check the brake discs and calipers for corrosion or binding, and inspect the underbody and wheel arches for any signs of structural rust or exhaust corrosion that might not have manifested during the recent test.
