2022 Mercedes-Benz CLA 1.3L Petrol · LR22 XEW

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness profile based on the most recent inspection. The test conducted on 3 May 2025 at 51,824 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating a stable mechanical and structural condition at that point in time. This suggests the previous owner maintained the vehicle to a standard sufficient to prevent immediate MOT failures. The car has covered 51,824 miles over approximately four years, averaging just over 13,000 miles per annum. This figure is higher than the UK annual average for a passenger car, suggesting consistent long-distance use rather than long periods of inactivity. While the MOT history is sparse due to the vehicle's relatively young age, the lack of recorded faults makes it difficult to track long-term wear patterns on components like the drivetrain or suspension. Given the higher-than-average mileage accumulation, a physical inspection should focus on components subject to high-frequency wear. A buyer should examine the condition of the suspension bushes for cracking and check the coil springs for signs of fatigue, as high mileage accelerates these failures. The braking system also requires scrutiny for uneven pad wear or thin discs, as the recorded mileage indicates significant demand on these consumables. The inspection should also verify the underbody for any premature corrosion, though this is unlikely on a 2022 model. Since the last test was over a year ago, the vehicle is now due for a new MOT. Ensuring the service history aligns with the mileage recorded is vital to confirm that oil changes and fluid inspections were performed at the correct intervals to support the high-mile profile.
