2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA 2.1L Diesel · FP66 GVD

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent test conducted in December 2025 at 80,494 miles resulted in a pass with a single advisory for a nearside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit and unevenly. This indicates that the primary mechanical and structural components are currently meeting DVSA standards, though consumable items are beginning to reach the end of their functional life. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per annum. Data shows a steady progression from 58,409 miles in October 2021 to 80,494 miles in late 2025. There are no significant gaps in testing or sudden bursts of mileage that would suggest erratic ownership. This level of mileage suggests the car has been subjected to regular use rather than being left stationary for extended periods, which generally benefits the health of rubber seals, batteries, and engine-run-related components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and wheel geometry. The recurring advisories for uneven tyre wear in 2022 on both front tyres and the recent nearside rear edge wear in 2025 suggest potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. The tester should check the control arms and shock absorbers for play to ensure the tyre degradation is not caused by deeper mechanical failure. Since no structural corrosion or brake-related failures appear in the history, the vehicle presents as a well-maintained example provided the underlying suspension wear is addressed to prevent further damage to new tyres.
