2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA 2.1L Diesel · KE65 GPU

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent test conducted in April 2025 at 100,819 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the car is currently meeting all statutory safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes, suggesting that the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical and safety requirements before they escalated into MOT failures. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between April 2023 and April 2025, the car covered 15,340 miles, reflecting a steady pattern of use. The only anomaly in the timeline occurs in February 2022, where the vehicle was tested twice within two days. The failure at 77,680 miles followed by a pass at 77,760 miles indicates a minor, singular issue that was rectified immediately, rather than a pattern of neglect. Given the clean history in recent tests, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components associated with the 100,000-mile threshold. While the MOT record shows no structural corrosion or mechanical failures, the mileage suggests that suspension bushes and coil springs may be nearing the end of their optimal life. Inspect the brake discs for uneven thinning or signs of caliper binding, as the MOT does not measure the remaining life of pads or rotors. The lack of recorded advisories in the last three tests suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained, but standard checks of rubber components and fluid leaks remain necessary.
