2018 Mercedes-Benz CLA 1.6L Petrol · MV68 PLO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend toward improving mechanical presentation. The most recent test conducted in July 2025 at 29,806 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the car currently meets all safety and environmental standards. This follows a clean result from 2024, suggesting that the previous owner has addressed any minor issues and maintained a consistent testing schedule. The mileage pattern is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,700 miles per year. Between July 2022 at 17,972 miles and July 2025 at 29,806 miles, the car covered 11,834 miles. While this low usage suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the intervals between tests can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based parts or brake components if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A prospective physical inspection should focus on the front axle geometry, as the June 2023 test at 21,749 miles flagged both the nearside and offside front tyres as being worn to the legal limit and showing signs of edge wear. Although these were likely replaced before subsequent clean passes, the pattern often indicates a slight alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require monitoring. You should also check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as low-mileage vehicles frequently suffer from surface rust if the brakes are not used frequently to clear the rotors.
