Our Verdict
Recommended with caution due to past MOT failures but recent clean test. Careful inspection of suspension and braking systems is essential.
Prioritise checking service records for repairs related to the 2022 MOT failures (brake discs, headlamp). Insist on a full service history to confirm fixes were properly addressed. Negotiate based on the 2022 failure and recurring suspension/brake issues. Verify that the 103,520-mile reading is accurate and not tampered with. Be wary of potential hidden costs from diesel-specific maintenance.
Diesel fuel economy averages 50-55 mpg on the motorway, but drops to 35-40 mpg in town. Road tax for 2026 is £140 (CO2 149g/km). Insurance group 15 is typical for a 2015 premium diesel. Major maintenance costs may include £300-£500 for brake disc replacements and £150-£250 for shock absorber repairs. Estimated annual running cost: £1,200-£1,500.
Focus on the front brake discs (check for uneven wear from the 2022 failure) and suspension components (look for oil leaks from shock absorbers). Inspect tyres for cracks or damage (noted in 2024 MOT). Check underbody for corrosion, common in older diesels. Test the nearside headlamp (failed in 2022) to confirm it's been replaced. Verify the vehicle hasn't been involved in accidents (no data provided).
This 2015 Mercedes-Benz CLA has a mixed MOT history with minor issues reported in 2022-2024, including brake disc wear and shock absorber oil leaks. The recent 2026 MOT shows no defects, and the mileage of 103,520 miles is slightly below average for its age. While the vehicle appears well-maintained, the 2022 failure and recurring suspension/brake issues warrant closer scrutiny.
No aggregate MOT data available for the 2015 CLA, but common issues for this model include brake system wear and suspension component failures.
