2020 Mercedes-Benz CLA 1.3L Petrol · DA70 BGF

The Mercedes-Benz CLA presents as roadworthy following a pass at 43,310 miles on 12 December 2025, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across its four-year MOT record. The vehicle carries no recorded defects, advisories, or failures on mechanical or structural grounds in any test. A single anomaly appears in the form of a fail on 6 December 2025 at 43,207 miles, yet the tester logged no defects, indicating an administrative or presentational rejection rather than a fault-based failure. Annual mileage averages 7,218 across the six-year life, a typical figure for this model age. The records show 22,272 miles on 13 November 2023, rising to 32,266 by 7 December 2024 and 43,310 by the final test, equating to roughly 10,000 miles per year in the later period and lighter use before that. No excessive gaps or sudden accumulation emerge, and the clean slate of pass results with zero advisories points to consistent, if not intensive, use with no deferred consumable replacements flagged. Given the absence of recorded faults, a buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear, as MOT silence does not confirm component life remaining. The December 2025 no-defect fail warrants confirmation that the DVSA entry reflected paperwork rather than a concealed issue, and the selling garage should clarify the reason before purchase. Structural integrity and exhaust emissions show no corrosion or exceedance across the history. With the most recent test just over six months old relative to today, the CLA sits within a valid certificate, though pre-delivery checks on tyre tread depth and wiper condition remain sensible given consumables fall outside MOT fail thresholds until worn.
