2020 Mercedes-Benz CLA 1.3L Petrol · DA20 HMJ

The Mercedes-Benz CLA presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 28 November 2025 at 45,559 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 29 November 2024 at 36,298 miles shows no outstanding advisories. The vehicle's history indicates consistent mechanical condition across its four recorded tests. Recorded mileage sits at 45,559 against a six-year lifespan, averaging roughly 7,593 miles per year, which is typical for the age. The odometer moved from 27,662 miles at the August 2023 test to 36,298 by November 2024, then to 45,559 by November 2025. That equates to about 8,600 miles annually over the last two years. No rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps appear in the data, and the sparse three-pass, one-fail record carries no corrosion, suspension, brake, or emissions flags. One anomaly requires context. On 29 November 2024 the car failed the initial test at 36,298 miles yet the DVSA entry lists no defects, and the same-day retest passed. Such a result usually stems from an administrative or documentation error at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. The owner corrected it without delay, implying reasonable attention to statutory compliance. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity, suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust emissions given the car's lower annual use, which can mask perished seals or flat-spotted tyres from standing. The clean MOT trail offers no evidence of recurring wear, but the 2024 duplicate entry warrants a check of the V5C and prior test paperwork to confirm no suppressed advisory exists.
