2015 Mercedes-Benz CLA 2.1L Diesel · EO65 MLV

The vehicle demonstrates a mixed roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT test on 9 March 2026 with no recorded defects, yet the immediate preceding test in March 2025 resulted in a failure due to excessive headlamp aim and tyre wear. This pattern of recurring tyre edge wear and brake disc wear over the last four years suggests a need for close inspection of the suspension geometry and braking system before purchase. With a recorded mileage of 95,402 miles over an 11-year period, the vehicle has accumulated approximately 8,673 miles annually, which represents a standard usage pattern for a vehicle of this age and specification. The MOT history shows consistent annual testing with no significant gaps, indicating the car has been in regular use rather than standing idle for extended periods. Given the recurring advisories regarding tyre wear on the edges and brake disc wear, prospective buyers must verify the current condition of the front tyres and brake discs. Tyres worn on the edge often indicate suspension geometry issues or wheel alignment problems; therefore, a thorough check for uneven tread wear and a test drive to listen for any unusual noises from the front suspension or steering is essential. Additionally, the 2025 failure regarding headlamp aim too high requires confirmation that the headlight adjustment has been corrected and that the aim is now within legal limits. The 2022 MOT history included a major failure for an offside rear tyre cut to the ply or cords, alongside edge wear on the nearside rear tyre. While the vehicle has passed subsequent tests, this history suggests potential impact damage or previous misuse that may have affected the rear suspension or wheel arches. Inspect the rear wheel arches for corrosion or impact damage and ensure the spare tyre is in good condition, as the previous rear tyre issues could be symptomatic of underlying structural or suspension damage.
