2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA 2.1L Diesel · LP16 AET

The vehicle is presently roadworthy, having passed the June 6 2026 MOT at 125,713 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend appears stable, showing no recurring failures since the 2020 test. The mileage record climbs from 40,836 miles in June 2019 to 125,713 miles in June 2026, averaging roughly 12,500 miles per year, which is high for a ten‑year‑old model and suggests regular use rather than long periods of standing; the annual tests show a consistent increase with no significant gaps in the data. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension system, especially the front coil spring that fractured in 2019 and the condition of the front brake disc noted in 2020, checking for cracks, wear on bushes, and binding calipers, as well as inspecting structural integrity, wheel‑arch and chassis rust, and exhaust emissions. Although the recent MOTs are clean, the high annual mileage and the prior structural failure warrant a thorough physical inspection of the chassis, suspension components, brake system and drivetrain before final purchase.
