2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA 2.1L Diesel · LS65 LEY

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 23 June 2025 at 78,365 miles, but this was a re-test following a failure on the same day. Since today is 4 June 2026, the MOT is due for renewal in just a few weeks, which is a critical consideration for your purchase. The history reveals a pattern of wear on safety-critical components. In 2025, the test identified a corroded offside rear coil spring and a failed dust cover on the offside front anti-roll bar linkage, which allows dirt ingress. These suspension defects suggest the undercarry is exposed to the elements and requires close attention. Tyres and brakes have been recurring issues. The 2024 test recorded a failure due to a bulge in the nearside front tyre, indicating structural separation, along with a nail in the rear tyre and worn, pitted front brake discs. In 2023, advisories highlighted a rear tyre worn close to the legal limit with cracking and thin rear brake pads. With roughly 7,800 miles covered per year, the usage is typical for a car of this age. This average mileage implies the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme abuse, but the consistent advisories on tyres and brakes confirm that consumables are wearing at a normal rate.
