2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA 2.1L Diesel · FP66 CKG

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection on May 8 2026 at 101,130 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a recurring pattern of deferred tyre maintenance. While the car has passed without structural or mechanical failures, the consistent presence of tyre-related advisories across several years suggests the owner only addresses consumables once they reach legal limits or show visible damage, rather than performing proactive preventative replacements. The mileage progression is consistent with a typical annual-use profile, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. There was a significant gap of 12,676 miles recorded between March 2023 and February 2024, followed by a more rapid accumulation of 4,870 miles in the final year leading up to the 2026 test. This steady usage indicates the vehicle is driven regularly, which is generally beneficial for mechanical seals and components compared to long periods of standing, though the mileage places standard wear on suspension bushings and drivetrain components. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry and alignment, given the repeated reports of edge wear on the offside front and nearside rear tyres in 2022 and 2026. Such wear patterns often indicate worn ball joints or control arm bushes that require professional adjustment. Additionally, the 2025 advisory regarding cracking or perishing the offside front tyre suggests the rubber may be aging beyond its tread depth, necessitating a check of the sidewalls on all tyres to ensure no structural degradation is present.
