2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA 2.1L Diesel · RO06 MAG

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy following a successful MOT test on 19 January 2026. The maintenance trend shows a stable pattern where the vehicle consistently meets minimum standards after initial failures. While the record shows failures in both January 2025 and January 2026, the immediate rectification of these issues prior to the passes suggests that the previous owner was proactive in addressing safety-related defects to keep the car legal for the road. The mileage data reveals a significant discrepancy between the recorded figure and the actual usage history. Although the car is ten years old with a recorded mileage of 54,753 miles, the MOT history shows the vehicle was at 103,664 miles in January 2026 and 100,358 miles in January 2025. This indicates a major odometer error or a data recording fault, as the vehicle covered over 30,000 miles in a single year despite the current figure suggesting low annual use. This inconsistency undermines the low-mileage narrative and suggests the vehicle has undergone significantly more mechanical wear than the 54,753 mile reading implies. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical verification of the odometer and mechanical components due to this mileage conflict. Given the actual mileage likely exceeds 100,000 miles, the inspection should focus on wear on suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs, which typically degrade at this interval. Check the brake discs for thinning and inspect the calipers for binding, as high-mileage usage places greater strain on the braking system. Additionally, examine the chassis for corrosion, particularly on the underbody to ensure that the higher actual mileage has not compromised the structural integrity of the frame.
