2022 Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 AMG Line Premium + E A 1.3L Hybrid electric (clean) · RO22 POF

The most recent DVSA MOT test for this 2022 Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 was conducted on 12 March 2026 and resulted in a Pass, although two advisories were recorded against the front tyres, specifically that both the nearside and offside front tyres were noted as worn close to the legal limit and worn on their edges. The previous test dated 18 March 2025 was a clean pass with no advisories or defects recorded, which indicates that the vehicle has maintained a broadly stable roadworthy position over the assessment period. However, the sudden appearance of edge wear advisories on the front axle in the latest test suggests the onset of suspension or geometry-related deterioration, which warrants careful physical evaluation as the vehicle accumulates further mileage. With a recorded odometer reading of 69,042 miles against a chassis age of approximately four years, this CLA 250 has covered around 17,260 miles annually, which is notably high for a premium European saloon and places the vehicle firmly in the higher-use category. Consistent mileages of this nature accelerate wear on consumable and drivetrain components, particularly brake discs and pads, tyres, suspension bushes, anti-roll bar links, and clutch or automatic transmission fluid. There are no significant gaps in the recorded mileage history that would indicate prolonged periods of standing, so the implications relate more to mechanical wear than to calendar-based degradation, although time-sensitive items such as brake fluid, coolant, and the 12V battery still require age-appropriate servicing irrespective of mileage accumulation. Given the advisory notices concerning front tyre edge wear, a prospective buyer should conduct a focused inspection of the front suspension and wheel alignment geometry. Edge wear on both front tyres simultaneously is typically symptomatic of incorrect tracking, camber misalignment, or worn suspension components such as control arm bushes, wishbone bushes, spring seats, or top mounts. During a test drive, listen for suspension clonks or knocks over uneven surfaces, particularly when traversing speed humps or potholes, and pay close attention to steering behaviour including any pulling to one side, vague on-centre feel, or vibration through the steering wheel under braking. Additionally, inspect the inner and outer shoulders of the front tyres for feathering or uneven wear patterns, and verify that the rear tyres exhibit uniform tread wear, as prolonged misalignment may have transferred additional stress to other chassis components. Beyond the advisory items, the higher-than-average annual mileage suggests that this vehicle will require close scrutiny of its braking system, including measurement of remaining brake disc thickness and pad material, with particular attention to the fronts given the higher thermal loading associated with a relatively heavy premium saloon driven enthusiastically. The brake fluid should be tested for moisture content, as Mercedes-Benz typically specifies replacement every two years regardless of mileage, and given the vehicle's age the original factory fill will almost certainly be due for renewal. The automatic transmission fluid, assuming this is the seven-speed or eight-speed DCT or torque converter unit fitted to the CLA 250, should be verified against the manufacturer's service schedule, and the condition of the engine oil and filter should be cross-referenced with the service book stamps. Finally, an under-bonnet and underfloor examination for fluid leaks, corrosion on brake lines and underbody components, and the general condition of the exhaust system would be prudent to ensure no latent defects exist beyond the recorded MOT history.
