2022 Mercedes-Benz CLA 1.3L Petrol · RX72 WHS

The 2022 Mercedes-Benz CLA presents a stable and highly favorable maintenance trend, evidenced by a completely clean MOT record. The most recent test on 5 February 2026 at 19,540 miles passed with zero defects or advisories. This indicates the vehicle currently meets all UK roadworthiness standards without any immediate mechanical or structural concerns flagged by the tester. The mileage accumulation aligns with exceptionally low usage for a vehicle of this age. Between the September 2025 test at 17,729 miles and the February 2026 test at 19,540 miles, the car covered just 1,811 miles over a five-month period. Annualized, this equates to roughly 4,885 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average. Such low mileage typically limits wear on consumables like brake discs and tyres, though prolonged stationary periods can sometimes cause flat-spotting on tyres or sticking brake calipers. Despite the absence of recorded defects, a pre-purchase inspection should focus on the specific risks associated with low-mileage vehicles. Examine the tyre sidewalls for cracking or perishing, as the rubber may have aged prematurely despite retaining deep tread depth. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion, a common issue when a car sits unused for extended periods. Checking the suspension bushes and exhaust system for any signs of dry rot or moisture-induced corrosion remains prudent. The clean MOT history strongly suggests meticulous upkeep by the previous owner, but verifying the physical condition of these dormant components ensures the vehicle's mechanical integrity matches its paper trail.
