2017 Mercedes-Benz CLA 1.6L Petrol · JA59 THO

The vehicle currently holds a valid roadworthiness pass from the October 2025 test at 103,484 miles, and the maintenance trend appears stable with no defects recorded across the last three annual examinations. The August 2023 and October 2025 entries each show a fail immediately followed by a pass on the same date at identical mileage, which indicates the tester initially rejected the car on an administrative or unrecorded basis before clearing it the same day rather than reflecting a mechanical fault. Annual mileage averages around 11,500 miles, which is typical for a 2017 car of this type. The records show 63,966 miles in August 2023, 83,471 miles in August 2024, and 103,484 miles in October 2025, giving a consistent yearly accumulation of roughly 20,000 miles between 2023 and 2024 and a lower 20,000 over fourteen months to late 2025. The DVSA data is sparse, with no advisories or defects logged on any pass, so the history gives little insight into wear on consumables or hidden corrosion. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and structural underbody for corrosion, as a clean MOT record does not confirm component condition between tests. The same-day fail and pass pattern at 63,966 and 103,484 miles suggests the previous owners addressed any rejection promptly, but the absence of advisories means tyre tread depth, wiper blades, and exhaust emissions were within limits yet unmeasured for trend. Given the high annual use and Mercedes-Benz CLA platform, check the front wishbone bushes and rear axle carrier for cracks, and verify the automatic gearbox fluid history, since the MOT does not cover drivetrain internals. The record implies basic statutory upkeep was met, though no evidence shows proactive maintenance beyond the minimum test standard.
