2015 Mercedes-Benz CLA 2.1L Diesel · RB05 AMY

The most recent MOT test on 26 March 2026 confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded at 66,821 miles. Over the past three annual tests—all passing without fail—there is no evidence of recurring mechanical issues or a declining maintenance trend. The absence of advisories or repeated failures suggests the vehicle has been consistently compliant with MOT standards, though this does not preclude underlying wear not captured in the test. The latest test was conducted just five months ago, placing it within the optimal window for assessing current roadworthiness. The recorded mileage progression shows a steady accumulation of approximately 5,400 to 6,000 miles annually, consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There are no unusual gaps or spikes in mileage between tests, with the most recent interval covering 5,387 miles since the March 2025 test. The only anomaly is the duplicate test date in April 2023, where the vehicle failed once before passing on the second attempt—though no specific faults were logged, this suggests a minor administrative or procedural oversight rather than a mechanical concern. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear components not routinely tested, such as suspension bushes and coil springs, which may exhibit progressive deterioration even without MOT failure. The brakes, while not flagged in recent tests, warrant close examination for uneven wear or binding calipers, particularly if the vehicle has experienced rapid mileage accumulation. Structural integrity should also be assessed, especially around wheel arches and underbody, for signs of corrosion or frame damage, as these are not always visible during a standard MOT. Tyre condition, though not recorded in failures, should be verified for consistent tread depth and lateral wear, as the absence of MOT defects does not guarantee prior neglect.
