2022 Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 AMG Line Premium + E A 1.3L Hybrid electric (clean) · FX22 OTF

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 10 March 2026 with no defects recorded. This follows a similarly clean pass on 3 March 2025. The maintenance trend appears exceptionally stable, with no recorded advisories or failures over the available history, suggesting a vehicle that has been kept to a high standard of roadworthiness and consistent mechanical upkeep. The recorded mileage of 62,745 miles over approximately four years indicates an annual average of roughly 15,686 miles. This is significantly higher than the UK national average for a vehicle of this class, suggesting extensive motorway or long-distance use. While high mileage typically accelerates the wear of consumables, it is often preferable to frequent short-trip urban cycling, as it reduces carbon buildup in the engine and puts less strain on the starter motor and battery. However, the drivetrain and suspension components have been subjected to more cycles of stress than a low-mileage equivalent. Since the MOT history is clean, the focus must shift to wear and tear items that do not always trigger a failure but impact long-term reliability. Given the high mileage, the buyer should scrutinize the condition of the brake discs for lip wear and the pads for remaining thickness, as these are primary consumables. During the test drive, listen for any knocks or clunks from the suspension bushes and coil springs, which may be nearing the end of their service life. Check the steering for any excessive play or vibration at motorway speeds, which could indicate the need for wheel alignment or worn suspension components. Furthermore, verify the service history to ensure that oil changes and filter replacements have been performed at intervals appropriate for high-mileage usage rather than just following the longest possible manufacturer intervals. Inspect the tyres for uneven wear patterns, which can signal alignment issues or worn suspension geometry. Finally, check the condition of the interior bolsters and steering wheel leather, as high-mileage vehicles often show more significant cabin wear. Ensure the automatic transmission shifts smoothly without hesitation or judder, as the gearbox fluid may require attention given the total distance traveled.
