2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA 2.1L Diesel · OV16 DCU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing results. The most recent test on 19 May 2025 at 81,286 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following an initial failure on the same day. This suggests that a specific issue was identified and immediately rectified by the owner, as no further faults appeared in the subsequent inspection. Since the 2022 test, the car has maintained a clean record without advisories indicating mechanical degradation or structural corrosion. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a decade-old luxury vehicle, averaging approximately 8,100 miles per year. Between July 2022 at 66,746 miles and May 2025 at 81,286 miles, the vehicle covered 14,540 miles over nearly three years. This steady accumulation indicates typical usage patterns rather than the risks associated with long periods of stagnation or the accelerated wear of high-distance commuting. The intervals between tests suggest a regular maintenance schedule which generally helps prevent rubber components and suspension bushings from seizing or cracking due to long intervals. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the history, a physical inspection should focus on verifying the state of consumables that the MOT does not capture. A buyer should check the condition of the brake discs and pads for uneven wear, as the record does not flag binding calipers or thinning material. Because the vehicle is ten years old, inspecting for oil leaks around the engine and checking fluid clarity is prudent to ensure no hidden issues remain. The clean data supports a vehicle that has been well-maintained relative to its age.
