2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA 2.0L Petrol · J3 RDT

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable and clean maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 19 August 2025 at 79,083 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating the car is currently in good mechanical condition. This follows a period of clean passes in the preceding years, suggesting that the previous owners maintained the vehicle to a high standard without allowing recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use profile, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Between July 2022 at 41,064 miles and August 2025 at 79,083 miles, the vehicle covered 38,019 miles, showing a steady accumulation of roughly 12,000 miles annually during that specific interval. The single failure recorded on 1 August 2023 at 54,267 miles is the only anomaly in the record, likely representing a minor issue that was rectified immediately before the subsequent pass. While the MOT history is remarkably clean, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age-related wear rather than high-mileage stress. Given the vehicle's age, check the rubber components in the suspension and control arm bushings for cracking, as these do not always trigger an MOT failure until significantly deteriorated. Inspect the brake discs for surface pitting, as low-mileage usage can sometimes lead to surface corrosion if the car sits for long periods.
