2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA 1.6L Petrol · D7 KBT

The 2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 28 August 2025 at 73,160 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across five consecutive annual examinations. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,300 miles per year. The records show steady annual use: 60,412 miles in October 2021, 63,472 in November 2022, 67,311 in December 2023, 70,244 in December 2024, and 73,160 by August 2025. No excessive jumps or dormant gaps appear. The clean sheet across every entry indicates the previous keeper addressed consumables before each test rather than allowing advisories to accumulate. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and the absence of any recorded advisories that might otherwise flag wear. The DVSA data shows no corrosion, exhaust emissions failures, or structural integrity concerns across the timeline. The lack of recurring faults suggests disciplined upkeep, though MOT passes with zero advisories at this mileage can mask gradual degradation not yet at failure threshold. A pre-purchase check of underbody condition and drivetrain mounts remains prudent.
