2018 Mercedes-Benz CLA 1.6L Petrol · LS68 YOY

The 2026‑02‑02 MOT at 55,560 miles confirms the 2018 Mercedes‑Benz CLA remains roadworthy, with the tester recording no defects. All previous tests from September 2021 through February 2026 show a consistent pass record, indicating no worsening or improving mechanical condition. The mileage trajectory reflects typical use for a vehicle of this age: 15,884 miles in September 2021, rising to 26,135 miles by January 2023, then to 38,379 miles in January 2024, 45,944 miles in February 2025 and finally 55,560 miles in February 2026. The intervals between tests average just over six months, with no evidence of prolonged standing periods that would mask wear. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension system, checking for worn bushes, coil spring fatigue and any binding rear brake calipers, while also examining brake discs for scoring and the exhaust system for corrosion or leaks. Structural integrity and rust on the chassis, wheel arches and underbody should be inspected, as should the condition of the tyres and wiper blades, which are consumable items that may hide underlying neglect.
