2020 Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 AMG Line Premium E A 1.3L Hybrid electric · BN70 UBA

The vehicle remains roadworthy as of its most recent MOT on 2025-10-31, passing with a minor brake pad wear advisory on the offside rear. The maintenance trend is stable, with no major failures or structural issues flagged in the last two tests, though the recurring brake pad wear suggests ongoing attention to braking components. No new faults emerged in the latest test beyond the previously noted wear, indicating consistent upkeep rather than neglect. Mileage progression shows a steady annual average of approximately 8,726 miles over six years, which aligns with typical usage for a 2020 model. The jump from 33,788 miles in November 2023 to 44,859 miles in November 2024 reflects a full 11,071 miles in one year — a normal rate for a daily driver. The 2025 test at 52,357 miles confirms continued regular use without any extended periods of inactivity or sudden mileage spikes. The record is clean and consistent, with no gaps suggesting potential tampering or skipped tests. The most notable recurring concern is brake wear, particularly on the rear axle, which has appeared in both the 2024 and 2025 tests. Buyers should inspect the rear brake calipers for binding, the discs for uneven wear or scoring, and the pads for thickness consistency. The nearside front tyre wear noted in 2024, close to the legal limit, warrants a full tyre inspection including tread depth, alignment, and potential uneven wear patterns. The under tray covers fitted in 2023 suggest attention to underbody protection, but the deteriorated rear registration plate in 2024 indicates minor cosmetic neglect — not a safety issue, but worth noting for overall condition. Structural integrity appears intact, with no corrosion or frame-related advisories in the record. Suspension components, particularly rear bushes and coil springs, should be visually inspected for wear or sagging, especially given the consistent brake wear which can sometimes indicate load or alignment issues. Exhaust emissions and lighting systems show no history of failure, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to standard. Overall, the record reflects responsible ownership with predictable, manageable wear on consumables.
