2017 Mercedes-Benz CLA 2.1L Diesel · KE67 HCD

The vehicle presents a strong level of roadworthiness, having passed its most recent MOT on 15 June 2026 at 81,617 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has secured consecutive passes over the last five years. While the June 2025 test identified thinning front brake pads, the subsequent pass in 2026 indicates that this issue was addressed prior to the latest inspection. The mileage profile is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of age, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per annum. Between May 2022 at 43,722 miles and June 2026 at 81,617 miles, the car covered roughly 38,000 miles, showing steady and predictable accumulation. The lack of recorded defects between the 2022 and 2024 tests suggests that the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme mechanical stress or neglect, which often correlates with better overall condition of rubber bushings and suspension components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system components, as the 2025 advisory for thin pads suggests these components may reach their service limit frequently. Given the age of the Mercedes, a close check of the brake discs for scoring or uneven wear is advisable to ensure they were replaced recently. The presence of lower tray and engine covers as noted in the two most recent tests protects the powertrain from road debris, but an inspector should still verify for any signs of fluid leaks or corrosion around the undercarriage where these covers might mask minor issues.
