2017 Mercedes-Benz CLA 1.6L Petrol · D9 BUX

The 2017 Mercedes-Benz CLA presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 5 November 2025 at 34,490 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test on 7 November 2023 at 26,860 miles, immediately retested the same day at 26,861 miles and passed with no defects noted, indicating a likely administrative or minor pre-check rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage sits low for a nine-year-old vehicle at 34,490 recorded miles, averaging roughly 3,832 miles per year. The record shows steady annual use: 23,426 miles in November 2022, 26,861 in November 2023, 30,703 in November 2024, and 34,490 in November 2025. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear; the car covered about 3,800 miles each year. Such low, consistent mileage suggests gentle use, though prolonged standing between short trips can age tyres, brake discs, and suspension bushes without high wear elsewhere. Given the clean advisory history across all passed tests, no recurring suspension, braking, or corrosion issues are flagged in the DVLA data. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity, underbody corrosion, and brake caliper condition, as MOT passes at low mileage do not capture worn coil springs or degraded rubber mounts unseen by the tester. The same-day fail and pass in November 2023 warrants a check of the test station's notes to confirm no suppressed defect.
