2018 Mercedes-Benz CLA 1.6L Petrol · LL18 CLJ

This Mercedes-Benz CLA demonstrates a stable and positive maintenance trajectory, confirmed by a clean pass on 2 March 2026 at 48,343 miles. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories in the two most recent annual inspections suggests that the current keeper has addressed previous mechanical concerns effectively. The vehicle currently maintains a clean bill of health, indicating that the mechanical systems are operating within expected parameters for a car of this age and mileage. The recorded mileage of 48,343 miles over an eight-year period aligns with typical usage patterns for this class of vehicle. Annual test intervals remain consistent, showing no significant gaps that would suggest long-term storage or periods of neglect. The most notable period of activity occurred between August 2023 and August 2024, where the vehicle covered approximately 9,800 miles, which is a higher rate of use than the surrounding years. This increased usage period coincides with the only instance of recorded wear, implying that the vehicle responds predictably to regular road use. When conducting a physical inspection, focus primarily on the braking system and tyre condition. The August 2024 test highlighted thinning rear brake pads and front brake disc wear, which confirms that these components are subject to standard consumable degradation. While the most recent test shows no active faults, verify the current thickness of the discs and pads to ensure they have not reached their service limit since the last inspection. Check the inner edges of the rear tyres for uneven wear patterns, as this was specifically flagged in 2024 and can sometimes indicate underlying geometry or alignment issues that may require professional adjustment.
