2022 Mercedes-Benz CLA 1.3L Petrol · GV71 HFR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on June 2, 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable regarding major mechanical components, though the most recent inspection indicates the onset of specific consumable issues that were absent in the previous year. While the car passed without major defects, the transition from a clean record to flagging tyre condition suggests the beginning of an age-related wear cycle on rubber-based components. The vehicle has covered 54,060 miles over approximately four years, representing an average annual usage of over 13,500 miles. Between the February 2025 test at 43,148 miles and the June 2026 test, the car accumulated 10,912 miles. This consistent mileage pattern suggests regular motorway use rather than long periods of stagnation, which is generally beneficial for mechanical seals and batteries but places a higher cumulative demand on the suspension bushings and brake system. A buyer should physically inspect the tyres in detail, as the latest test flagged the nearside front and offside rear tyres for cracking or perishing. These defects often indicate that the rubber is reaching the end of its structural life regardless of remaining tread depth. Given the relatively high mileage for a vehicle of this age, a close examination of the brake discs for scoring or uneven wear and an assessment of the control arm bushings for play are advisable to ensure the high-frequency usage has not prematurely degraded the suspension.
