2017 Mercedes-Benz CLA 1.6L Petrol · N5 PVM

The 2017 Mercedes-Benz CLA shows a current roadworthy status following a pass on 5 December 2025 at 79,066 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test came one day after a failure on 4 December 2025 at the same mileage, though no defects were recorded on either entry. This pattern repeats the prior year, where a pass on 22 November 2024 at 67,924 miles followed a failure on 21 November 2024 at 67,896 miles, again with no defects logged. The vehicle has cleared every test that proceeded to a full examination without advisory or failure defects, indicating no escalating mechanical concerns across the three years of data. Annual mileage has tracked at a typical rate for a nine-year-old vehicle, rising from 53,248 miles at the 24 November 2023 pass to 67,896 miles by the November 2024 failure and reaching 79,066 miles by December 2025. That equates to roughly 11,600 miles between late 2023 and late 2024, then about 11,170 miles to late 2025, consistent with the approximate 8,785 miles per year norm. The record is sparse on fault detail, with every completed test returning a clean result and no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions at any stage. The repeated fail-then-pass sequence on consecutive days in both 2024 and 2025, with zero defects cited, points to administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than underlying wear. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity, coil springs, and binding calipers given the age, as the MOT record offers no visibility of consumable condition between tests. Verify the reason for the same-day reversals with the DVSA, since the entries suggest the car was never structurally or mechanically deficient yet was initially rejected.
