Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and budget for imme
When viewing this CLA, pay close attention to the tyres. The MOT history shows repeated issues with tyres being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges in 2022, 2024, and 2026. This could indicate an ongoing wheel alignment issue or uneven suspension wear.
Ask the seller for evidence of recent wheel alignment and suspension checks. Because the 2022 MOT noted play in the offside front suspension arm ball joint, you should verify if this component, and any related parts like bushings or tie rods, have been replaced. Ensure you check the service history specifically for oil changes, as high-mileage diesel engines require consistent maintenance to remain viable.
As a 2.1L diesel, this CLA is likely to offer reasonable fuel economy for long-distance driving, though running costs will be influenced by its 109,981-mile odometer reading. Tax and insurance groups for this Mercedes model vary, but buyers should check the specific insurance group for the LL13XRX registration.
Maintenance costs for a Mercedes of this age can be higher than for mainstream brands. Expect to budget for more frequent tyre replacements and potential repairs to suspension components or braking systems, which are common maintenance areas for this model type.
Specifically inspect the tyres and wheels. The MOT history identifies a pattern of 'worn on edge' tyres in 2024 and 2026, as well as 'cracking or perishing' sidewalls in 2022. Check for uneven tread depth across all four tyres to rule out alignment problems.
Underneath the car, inspect the front suspension. The 2022 MOT recorded play in the offside front suspension arm ball joint; check for any knocks, bangs, or vibrations when driving over bumps. Additionally, check the condition of the brake pads and discs, as these are noted as top failure reasons for this model aggregate.
This 2013 silver Mercedes-Benz CLA is a high-mileage diesel model, having covered 109,981 miles as of March 2026. The MOT history shows five recorded tests, with recent focus on tyre condition and a previous suspension component issue. Given its age and mileage, the vehicle's value will depend heavily on its documented service history and current mechanical state.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 85% MOT pass rate, with tyre, brake pad, and headlamp issues being the most frequent reasons for failure.
