2022 Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 AMG Line Premium E A 1.3L Hybrid electric · LN71 KGV

The vehicle's current roadworthiness is in the grey zone, with the most recent test on 2026-03-11 showing a clear passing record at 41,856 miles, indicating that no critical structural defects have been identified in the last year. However, the maintenance trend is not stable; the history reveals a significant deterioration in performance characteristics. The most recent test at 41,856 miles was passed, but the preceding test on 2025-01-15 failed at 33,830 miles, demonstrating a clear accelerating pattern where the vehicle's reliability and safety standards have degraded over the past two years. The mileage accumulation is particularly concerning given the vehicle's age. The 2025-01-15 test shows the car having accumulated 10,464 miles in just two years, which is approximately 5,232 miles per year. This rapid growth is consistent with the vehicle's age, suggesting that the owner has likely maintained a low mileage baseline for the past two years, potentially relying on a 'maintenance-free' policy or a very light usage pattern. While the car has been tested at a healthy 41,856 miles in the most recent session, this gap between the two most recent tests indicates that the vehicle has not been adequately serviced since the 2025-01-15 failure, leaving the drivetrain and suspension in a state of potential overload. Given the recurring faults and the accelerating mileage trend, the buyer should inspect the vehicle in person for the following mechanical components: the suspension bushes and coil springs, which may be experiencing excessive wear due to the rapid mileage accumulation; the brake discs and calipers, which could be showing signs of binding or overheating from the lack of regular maintenance; and the exhaust emissions system, which may be failing due to the lack of regular servicing. The buyer should also verify the structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of the tyres, as the nearside front and rear tyres, along with the outer rear tyres, have been flagged for wear and excessive cuts, indicating that the vehicle may not meet the legal tread requirements at the time of the most recent test.
