2015 Mercedes-Benz CLA 2.1L Diesel · SD65 GGZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT in October 2025, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of increasing mechanical wear on suspension components. While the car passed its most recent test, it failed just two days prior at the same mileage due to a critical tyre defect and multiple suspension-related failures. The presence of a corroded nearside coil spring and deteriorated anti-roll bar ball joint dust covers suggests that the vehicle is reaching the end of the service lifecycle for various wear items. At 11 years old with 82,298 miles recorded, the car has averaged approximately 7,500 miles per year. This aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a premium hatchback of this age. The record shows consistent annual testing, with roughly 6,500 miles driven between October 2023 and 2024, and another 5,900 miles between October 2024 and 2025. This steady mileage accumulation suggests the vehicle was not subjected to extreme stress, though the low mileage does not prevent the natural degradation of rubber and metal components due to time. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The history shows a recurring pattern of pitted and scored brake discs across 2023, 2024, and 2025, which often indicates either a lack of anti-rust treatment or binding calipers. Furthermore, the corrosion on the nearside rear coil spring noted in 2025 warrants a check for structural integrity on the opposite side to ensure the wear is uniform. The deteriorated anti-roll bar ball joint dust covers should be inspected for play, as moisture ingress into the joints will lead to premature steering component failure if not addressed immediately.
