Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to high mileage
Given the mileage is significantly higher than average for a 2018 model, prioritise a thorough review of the service history to ensure oil changes and major intervals have been adhered to. Use the high mileage as a primary point for price negotiation, as this will impact the vehicle's future resale value.
Pay close attention to the tyre replacement records. The 2025 failure for exposed ply and cords, combined with a 2024 advisory for inner edge wear, suggests a possible wheel alignment issue or a history of deferred maintenance. Confirm that a full four-wheel alignment has been performed recently.
The 2143cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency, particularly on long-distance journeys, which aligns with this vehicle's high mileage. However, diesel particulate filter (DPF) maintenance is a consideration for high-mileage examples if they have been used for short city trips.
Annual costs will include road tax based on its 2018 emissions bracket and insurance premiums typical for the CLA range. Maintenance costs may increase as the vehicle crosses the 100,000-mile threshold, requiring more frequent component replacements.
Carefully inspect the tread depth and wear patterns of all four tyres. Specifically, check the inner edges of the rear tyres to ensure the wear noted in 2024 has been corrected and that the replacements fitted after the 2025 failure are of a reputable brand.
Check the brake pads and discs; while the vehicle passed its latest MOT, the May 2025 record specifically flagged thin inner brake pads. Verify if these were replaced or merely topped up to a legal minimum. Finally, check for any signs of diesel soot or leaks around the engine bay, typical of higher-mileage 2.1L units.
This 2018 black diesel Mercedes-Benz CLA has recorded 108,231 miles, placing it well above the model's average annual mileage of 8,516. The MOT history reveals a failure in May 2025 caused by severely worn tyres and thin brake pads, though it passed its most recent inspection in March 2026 without defects. The data indicates a pattern of tyre wear issues over the last two years.
The CLA has an average MOT pass rate of 85%, with tyres being one of the most frequent causes of failure across the model range.
