2022 Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 AMG Line Premium E A 1.3L Hybrid electric (clean) · PO22 WRW

With only two MOT tests on record and both returning a clean pass with no advisories or defects recorded, the DVSA history for this 2022 Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 AMG Line Premium is unblemished at the point of testing. The most recent examination on 25 March 2026 closed out another year without a single flagged item, and the prior test on 3 March 2025 was equally clear. That said, the depth of evidence here is genuinely shallow: two tests cover only the third and fourth year of the vehicle's life, leaving the first registration period entirely unverified by DVSA. A prospective buyer should not interpret this as a long-established track record of roadworthiness; it is simply a record free of recorded defects at the points of test, and mechanical condition outside those snapshots cannot be inferred from the data alone. The vehicle is averaging roughly 14,179 miles per year over its four-year life, which sits well above the typical mileage band for a car of this age. That level of use means consumables such as brake pads, discs, tyres and drive belts will have absorbed more wear than on a lower-mileage counterpart, even if no components have yet crossed the threshold for an MOT failure or advisory. Sustained higher mileage also places greater cumulative load on suspension bushes, coil springs, anti-roll bar links, wheel bearings and the dual-clutch or automatic transmission internals. There are no gaps in testing that would suggest extended periods off the road, so the usage pattern appears continuous and consistent rather than intermittent, which is mechanically preferable to a vehicle that has sat unused for long stretches but does mean wear-related items deserve close scrutiny now. Given the absence of recorded advisories, a physical inspection must do the work the MOT history cannot. On a test drive, listen carefully for clonks or thuds from the front suspension over speed bumps and uneven surfaces, paying particular attention to the lower control arm bushes, wishbone links and anti-roll bar drop links, all common wear points on Mercedes-Benz front suspensions. Feel for any vibration through the steering wheel under braking, which could indicate warped front discs, and listen for scraping or binding that might point to a sticking caliper slider. The brake pedal should feel firm and progressive; any sponginess would warrant immediate investigation of the hydraulic system. Visually, inspect the underside thoroughly for any corrosion starting to form on the subframe, suspension arms and brake pipe runs, particularly behind the wheel arches and along the fuel and brake lines where road salt accumulates. Check the engine oil and coolant levels and condition, look for any oil misting around the cam cover or turbo pipework on the 2.0-litre petrol unit, and examine the condition of the tyres for even shoulder wear, which can indicate alignment or suspension geometry issues. Finally, confirm that all dashboard warning systems cycle correctly on ignition, that the automatic transmission shifts smoothly through all ranges, and that the vehicle has a complete and up-to-date service record, as the MOT file alone cannot verify routine maintenance between tests.
