2018 Mercedes-Benz CLA 2.1L Diesel · MR12 WRN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on 15 May 2026. While the overall history shows a period of clean inspections over several years, the most recent result indicates a lapse in basic consumable maintenance. The failure just one day prior at 84,158 miles highlighted a critical structural defect in the nearside front outer tyre and excessive wear on the offside front. Although these issues were rectified for the pass, the presence of cracking on both rear tyres suggests the rubber is reaching the end of its effective service life. The recorded mileage of 84,204 miles reflects a consistent usage pattern of approximately 10,500 miles per year, which is standard for an eight-year-old vehicle. The data shows a steady accumulation of mileage, with roughly 9,000 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests and another 8,200 miles between May 2025 and May 2026. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of being stationary, which often leads to premature seal degradation or brake-related mechanical failures. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the tyre set, as the recent failures indicate perishing and structural bulges across multiple axles. The uneven wear noted on the offside front tyre in the 2026 failure warrants a check of wheel alignment and an inspection of suspension bushes. Since no mechanical or structural defects were recorded between 2023 and 2025, the core drivetrain and braking components appear stable, but the recent shift toward tyre-related failures indicates the need for closer attention to routine upkeep.
