2018 Mercedes-Benz CLA 1.6L Petrol · F7 CBA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT in April 2026 at 30,597 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a significant failure in March 2025. While the car previously failed the test due to a fractured offside front wheel and perished rear tyres, the most recent record confirms these safety defects were addressed, and the vehicle now meets the minimum legal standards for UK road use. At eight years old with 30,597 miles, this Mercedes has covered significantly low mileage, averaging approximately 3,825 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent across the records, with a gap of 7,000 miles between March 2023 and March 2024, and another 4,000 miles between March 2024 and March 2025. Low mileage often suggests less mechanical wear on rubber components and bushings, but it also increases the risk of dry rot if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the condition of the tyres, as the 2025 test flagged cracking and perishing on both rear tyres despite the low mileage. This suggests the rubber is reaching its age limit regardless of tread depth. The recurring history of tyres worn to the legal limit in both 2023 and 2024 indicates potential alignment issues or uneven suspension wear that warrants a physical check of the geometry. Furthermore, since the offside front wheel was fractured in early 2025, the replacement should be verified to ensure no secondary damage occurred to the wheel bearing or the steering assembly.
