2018 Mercedes-Benz CLA 2.1L Diesel · KM68 DBX

This Mercedes-Benz CLA presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 3 March 2026 at 69,665 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean certificates over the last three years, indicating the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets DVSA requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is typical for an eight year old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,708 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady, increasing from 51,346 miles in March 2024 to 58,182 miles by March 2025, and finally reaching 69,665 miles by March 2026. This consistent usage suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often leads to perished seals or seized brake calipers. The absence of any advisories or failures across the 2024, 2025, and 2026 tests is unusual for a vehicle of this age. While the record is clean, a buyer should still manually verify the condition of common wear items that may not trigger an MOT failure. Focus on the depth of the tyre treads and the thickness of the brake discs, as these consumables may be nearing the end of their service life despite the lack of official flags. A physical inspection should prioritize the suspension bushes and coil springs to ensure no degradation has occurred that the tester overlooked. Checking for any signs of underbody corrosion is also advisable, as the MOT record provides no data on structural integrity beyond the basic pass. Given the lack of recorded faults, the vehicle appears mechanically sound on paper.
