2009 Mercedes-Benz CLC 1.8L Petrol · DA09 DTY

The 2009 Mercedes-Benz CLC presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 5 December 2023 at 137,332 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests in December 2022 and November 2021 also passed cleanly, indicating no ongoing mechanical or structural concerns flagged across the available history. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,078 miles per year. The record shows 106,508 miles at the November 2021 test, rising to 115,733 miles by November 2022 and 117,644 miles by 1 December 2022, then 137,332 miles at the December 2023 test. The jump of nearly 20,000 miles in the final year is the largest annual increase shown, though still within normal use. A failed test on 15 November 2022 at 115,733 miles carries no listed defects, suggesting an administrative or unrecorded-cause failure rather than a mechanical fault. The absence of advisories or recorded defects across all tests means no recurring wear patterns such as worn suspension bushes, corroded structures, or failing brake components have been formally logged. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of common high-mileage Mercedes wear points including front suspension arms, coil springs, and brake disc condition, as these are not captured by a clean MOT alone. Given the sparse but clean record, previous ownership appears to have maintained basic statutory test compliance. The single anomaly of the November 2022 failure with no defects warrants a check of the DVSA test station notes if available, but the subsequent pass twelve days later confirms the vehicle was returned to roadworthy condition without delay.
