2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA 2.1L Diesel · OO12 ABU

The vehicle shows a stable roadworthiness status with a very recent MOT pass on 27 July 2026 at 61,516 miles. While the most recent test flagged a damaged windscreen, this was deemed not to adversely affect the driver's view. The maintenance trend appears to be shifting from a period of clean passes between 2019 and 2022 toward more frequent consumable wear and minor mechanical adjustments in recent years. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a low-to-average usage pattern for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,152 miles per year. The record shows a steady increase from 27,292 miles in December 2019 to the current 61,516 miles. A notable increase in mileage occurred between July 2025 and July 2026, where the vehicle covered 11,331 miles, suggesting a recent increase in annual usage compared to previous years. The MOT history reveals a recurring pattern of tyre management issues and brake wear. In December 2023, the tester flagged a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit, and by July 2025 at 50,185 miles, all four tyres were flagged for either being worn close to the limit or showing signs of cracking and perishing. This suggests the previous owner may have neglected tyre replacement schedules. The July 2025 test also identified thinning front brake pads, indicating that consumable components are reaching the end of their service life. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the tyre condition and tread depth across all four corners to ensure the 2025 issues have been fully rectified. Given the 2022 failure regarding anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust covers, the suspension system warrants close scrutiny for any signs of perished rubber or play in the joints. Finally, verify that the TPMS light noted in December 2023 has been addressed and that the windscreen damage mentioned in the latest test has been repaired or replaced.
