2018 Mercedes-Benz CLA 1.6L Petrol · DL18 OBR

The 2026‑05‑28 MOT at 70,463 miles passed without recorded defects, confirming the vehicle is presently roadworthy. Earlier failures on rear brake discs and tyre tread in 2024 and 2023 have not recurred, suggesting the maintenance trend has shifted from a period of minor wear to a stable condition. Seventy‑thousand‑four hundred‑sixty‑three miles over eight years averages roughly 8,800 miles per annum, aligning with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The mileage rose from 49,520 in May 2023 to 66,213 in April 2025 and then to 70,463 in May 2026, reflecting a consistent accumulation of about 7,000‑8,000 miles each year, with no significant gaps indicating prolonged storage. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the rear brake discs, ensuring sufficient thickness and absence of scoring that could re‑emerge under load. Inspection of both front and rear tyres for tread depth, sidewall integrity, and uniform wear is advisable, given the 2024 advisories on tyres approaching the legal limit. The off‑side obligatory mirror glass previously reported as cracked should be examined for proper fit or replacement, and a visual check of the suspension bushes and any signs of corrosion on structural panels will confirm that no underlying issues have developed since the last clean test.
