2015 Mercedes-Benz CLA 2.1L Diesel · LS65 YFJ

The most recent MOT on 2025-07-12 recorded a pass with three key issues: front and rear brake discs showing wear, pitting, or scoring but not serious weakening, and a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit. These findings align with recurring brake disc wear observed in prior MOTs, suggesting a persistent but manageable condition. The tyre’s near-limit wear indicates potential neglect in maintenance or regular inspections. A failed MOT on 2024-07-13 (same date as a later passed MOT) highlighted similar brake disc issues, along with thin front brake pads and a nail in the nearside rear tyre. The presence of a nail in the same tyre location as an earlier 2022 MOT entry suggests ongoing tyre damage, possibly from road hazards or poor repair practices. Brake pad wear and disc scoring have been consistently noted since 2024, indicating gradual deterioration rather than sudden failure. The vehicle’s mileage of 66,235 miles over 11 years equates to roughly 6,021 miles annually, which is typical for its age. This suggests average usage rather than excessive wear from high mileage or prolonged inactivity. However, the recurring brake and tyre issues imply that the vehicle may have experienced harder use or less frequent maintenance, particularly in the braking system. The trend shows no clear worsening of defects, but the persistence of brake disc wear and tyre damage raises concerns about long-term reliability.
