2013 Mercedes-Benz CLA 1.6L Petrol · PF63 ACJ

The 2026‑02‑16 MOT at 56,446 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows a stable, non‑deteriorating condition. All previous tests from 2022 through 2025 also passed without any reported faults, indicating that previous owners have consistently addressed required repairs. The mileage trajectory is modest for a 13‑year‑old CLA, averaging roughly 4,300 miles annually, and the recorded increments between tests are regular: 1,652 miles from 2022 to 2023, 1,701 miles from 2023 to 2024, 7,093 miles from 2024 to 2025, and 4,151 miles from 2025 to 2026, suggesting steady usage rather than long periods of standing or sudden high‑speed accumulation. A buyer should therefore concentrate on mechanical components that commonly develop wear on this model: the front and rear suspension bushes and coil springs, the condition of brake discs and calipers (particularly the rear binding reported in similar inspections), the exhaust system for corrosion, and the chassis for structural rust, especially around the wheel arches and subframes. Although the MOT history shows no recorded failures, a physical inspection of these areas will verify whether the vehicle has been maintained to the standard implied by the clean certificates and will reveal any hidden deterioration that could affect long‑term reliability.
