2019 Mercedes-Benz CLA 2.0L Petrol · LP69 BCK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on February 10, 2026, at 40,963 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. A failure just one week prior on February 3, 2026, at 40,897 miles revealed pitted rear brake discs and an offside rear pad below the legal thickness limit. While the subsequent pass indicates these repairs were made, the previous owner allowed critical braking components to reach a failure point before intervening. At seven years old, the recorded mileage of 40,963 miles represents low annual usage, averaging 5,850 miles per year. This low mileage profile explains the specific types of wear noted in the history. Between February 2023 (20,779 miles) and February 2025 (34,854 miles), the car covered roughly 14,000 miles, yet the records flagged recurring issues with rubber components. The cracking and perishing of the rear tyres across two consecutive tests suggests the vehicle sat stationary for extended periods, leading to material degradation despite low tread depth. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the tyres and braking system to ensure the recurring issues were fully addressed. The 2025 advisories noted front tyres worn on the edge, which often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes requiring attention. Given the recent failure for scored rear discs, verify that both discs and pads were replaced simultaneously with quality parts and that the calipers are not binding. Additionally, check the sidewalls of all tyres for signs of dry rot, as the history confirms this vehicle is prone to age-related rubber failure despite low mileage.
