2018 Mercedes-Benz CLA 1.6L Petrol · FX18 LHD

The 10 March 2025 MOT at 73,131 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming the CLA remains roadworthy. With four consecutive annual passes and no recorded failures, the maintenance trend appears stable rather than deteriorating. Mileage has risen from 44,610 miles in March 2022 to 73,131 miles in March 2025, averaging roughly 9,100 miles per year—a figure typical for a vehicle of this age. The jump of 16,547 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests exceeds the earlier annual increments of about 6,000 miles, suggesting a period of more intensive use in the last year. No gaps appear in the MOT schedule; each March test was completed, indicating regular compliance with statutory inspections. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of consumable wear items that may have accelerated with the recent mileage surge. Inspect tyre tread depth, sidewall integrity, and tyre age for signs of uneven wear. Examine brake discs and pads for thinning or glazing, and feel for any binding or pulsation in the braking system. Check suspension components—coil springs, shock absorbers, and bushings—for looseness or excessive play, and scan the under‑carriage for corrosion or structural rust that could have developed unnoticed despite the clean MOT record. These checks will confirm that the vehicle’s mechanical health aligns with the clean MOT history.
