2021 Mercedes-Benz CLA 1.3L Petrol · LP70 ETL

The 2021 Mercedes-Benz CLA presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 12 February 2025 at 30,988 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the available record. The vehicle cleared its February 2025 retest without any defects after an initial failure on 4 February 2025 at the same mileage, where the tester also logged no specific defects. This pattern suggests an administrative or presentation issue at the first attempt rather than a mechanical fault, and no advisories or wear items have been flagged at any stage. The recorded mileage shows light use for a five-year-old vehicle, with 23,048 miles logged on 16 February 2024 rising to 30,988 miles by February 2025, an annual gain of roughly 7,940 miles. Against the typical expectation of about 6,200 miles per year, the car has seen marginally above-average use in the last recorded year but remains within normal bounds. The DVSA history is sparse, with only three entries and no corrosion, suspension, brake, or emissions concerns noted at any test. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity, suspension bushes, and brake discs given the low sample of MOT data and the unexplained February 2025 failure with zero recorded defects. The clean pass on 12 February 2025 means no outstanding advisories exist, yet the identical mileage across both February 2025 tests indicates the car stood unused between those dates. Verify the reason for the earlier failure with the testing station and confirm no latent fault was simply cleared without repair.
