2023 Mercedes-Benz CLA 220 AMG LN Prm+ NGT ED D A 1.9L Diesel · KN73 LRY

A largely unblemished DVSA record supports the roadworthiness picture for this 2023 Mercedes-Benz CLA 220, with the most recent test on 20 August 2026 returning a straightforward pass and no defects of substance noted by the examiner. The only recorded observations are advisories on both rear tyres for slight damage, cracking or perishing, which are minor cosmetic findings rather than immediate fail items but are worth monitoring as the compound ages. With just two advisories logged across a single documented test, there is no history of brake, suspension, exhaust or structural concerns to weigh against the vehicle, leaving a relatively clean starting point for evaluation. The odometer reads 16,413 miles against an age of roughly three years, equating to an annual accumulation of about 5,471 miles, which is on the lower side for a modern premium saloon. Light annual use of this nature generally results in less wear on friction components such as brake discs, pads and clutches, and the recorded mileage falls well below the thresholds at which one might expect significant consumable replacement. That said, lower than average mileage can also mean extended standing periods, which on a vehicle of this specification may bring their own considerations around seals, drive belts and battery condition, although nothing in the MOT history directly flags such items. There are no gaps in the testing record that would suggest the car was off the road for prolonged stretches. For a prospective buyer, the rear tyre advisories are the only specific items requiring attention, and a physical inspection of both rear tyres should focus on the sidewalls and tread for cracking, perishing or impact damage, as well as confirming that the tyres are of matching brand, size and tread depth to maintain correct handling and ABS behaviour. On a test drive, listen for any thumping or vibration through the rear suspension that could indicate a perished tyre wall distorting under load, and check that the car tracks straight without pulling, which can be exaggerated by mismatched rear rubber. Even though no brake or suspension defects have been recorded, a thorough road test should still include firm pedal application to confirm straight, even stopping without judder, and slow-speed cornering over uneven surfaces to detect any knocking from the multi-link rear suspension, particularly as the car is still within its early life but remains lightly used. Given the absence of any recorded advisories relating to fluid leaks, exhaust integrity, brake pipe corrosion or suspension component wear, there is little in the MOT history to suggest hidden mechanical concerns, though this should not be taken as confirmation of broader mechanical condition beyond what was examined. A pre-purchase inspection by a Mercedes-Benz specialist or independent garage remains advisable, particularly to verify the health of the diesel particulate filter, the dual-fuel natural gas system specific to this NGT Edition variant, and the condition of the underside where corrosion or undertray damage would not have been visible at MOT level. Confirming the recent tyre replacement with the seller and reviewing the full Mercedes-Benz service documentation will round out a sensible due diligence process for what is otherwise a lightly used, well-documented example.
