2013 Mercedes-Benz CLA 1.6L Petrol · JB53 SUE

The vehicle presents a current roadworthy status following the September 2025 test at 88,207 miles, where the tester issued a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the three years of available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. A peculiar administrative pattern appears in the record: the September 2024 and September 2025 tests each show a fail and a pass logged on consecutive or same dates with no defects cited, suggesting clerical re-entry rather than genuine mechanical failure. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a 2013 registered car, rising from 79,077 miles at the September 2023 test to 83,557 miles in September 2024 and 88,207 miles by September 2025. That equates to roughly 4,500 miles per year over the recorded span, below the 6,785 miles per year lifetime average, indicating lighter recent use. The clean test history with no corrosion, suspension bush, brake disc, or exhaust emission concerns logged gives no evidence of deferred consumable replacement or structural neglect by prior keepers. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension components, brake calipers, and underbody structural integrity given the car is now thirteen years old. The absence of recorded advisories does not preclude age-related degradation such as perished rubber bushes or early subframe corrosion that a visual test may not capture. Verify the duplicate fail-pass entries with DVSA to confirm no suppressed defect data exists before purchase.
