2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA 1.6L Petrol · FN16 STX

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent pass record over the last five years. The most recent test in September 2025 at 41,709 miles resulted in a pass, though it introduced minor advisories regarding tyre condition. Prior to this, the vehicle achieved clean passes between 2022 and 2024, indicating that it has not suffered from significant mechanical failures or structural degradation during those inspection intervals. The mileage pattern is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,170 miles per year. Between August 2021 and September 2025, the car covered only 5,612 miles, suggesting a history of short-distance use. While this low mileage typically results in less wear on the drivetrain and engine internal components, it also increases the risk of rubber-based parts perishing or brake components seizing due to age if the car sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the tyres, as the September 2025 record flagged an offside front tyre worn to the legal limit and a nearside rear showing signs of cracking. These issues are common in low-mileage vehicles where rubber ages out before the tread wears down. The inspector should also verify the brake discs for corrosion and check the suspension bushes for cracks, as infrequent use can lead to material stiffness and seized components despite the low odometer reading.
