2015 Mercedes-Benz CLA 1.6L Petrol · RE57 HPA

The vehicle passed its July 2026 MOT at 126,182 miles with only an undertray fitted, confirming current roadworthiness, and the most recent test recorded no defects, indicating that the previous wear items have not resurfaced. Mileage has risen steadily from 42,771 miles in March 2018 to 126,182 miles by July 2026, averaging roughly 11,500 miles annually, which matches the expected usage for a 2015 model. The interval between the October 2024 failure at 104,444 miles and the July 2025 test at 107,861 miles spans nine months, showing regular operation, while the jump to 126,182 miles in the latest test reflects continued accumulation over the following eleven months. A buyer should verify the condition of the front anti‑roll bar ball joints, which were flagged as excessively worn in October 2024, and inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs and brake discs for uneven wear or binding, as the earlier failures involved front anti‑roll bar links and headlamp defects. Tyre tread on the off‑side front wheel was noted as worn close to the legal limit in November 2023, so tread depth and edge wear should be measured, and the undertray fitted in July 2026 should be checked for secure attachment. Finally, the vehicle’s structural integrity, including corrosion on the undertray and under‑body, should be examined, along with the condition of the exhaust system and any signs of suspension misalignment.
