2022 Mercedes-Benz CLA 1.3L Petrol · ML22 DWA

The Mercedes-Benz CLA passed its most recent MOT on 21 February 2026 at 64,419 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy as of that date. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, with the latest pass showing a clean sheet and no advisories carried forward from earlier tests. The recorded mileage of 64,419 at the 2026 test equates to roughly 16,105 miles per year, which is high for a 2022 model and points to sustained motorway or business use rather than occasional local running. Between the 27 February 2025 failure at 52,417 miles and the 5 March 2025 pass at 52,769 miles, the car covered only 352 miles, yet the failure recorded no defects, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue at the first attempt rather than a mechanical fault. From March 2025 to February 2026 the vehicle added 11,650 miles, a normal annual rate given the prior pattern. The DVSA record flags no recurring mechanical or structural faults across any test. Both failures in February 2025 and February 2026 list no defects, so the buyer cannot draw conclusions about worn suspension bushes, corroded subframes, or failing brake discs from the data alone. The high annual mileage does imply heavier consumption of tyres, brake pads, and drivetrain fluids than a low-use example. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the front suspension arms, rear coil springs, and brake disc thickness, as four years and 64,000 miles will have loaded those components even without MOT advisories. Verify service history confirms gearbox and differential oil changes at the correct intervals for the mileage. The clean record is reassuring, but it does not remove the need for a physical check of wear items before purchase.
