2021 Mercedes-Benz AMG CLA 45 S 4MATIC+ Auto 2.0L Petrol · SJ21 EXP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass on January 20, 2026 at 20,845 miles. The maintenance trend shows a reactive pattern where the owner immediately addresses safety-critical failures identified during testing. While the two most recent tests resulted in failures, these were strictly limited to tyres, indicating that the core mechanical and structural integrity of the AMG remains stable despite lapses in consumable upkeep. At five years old, the recorded 20,845 miles represent a low annual usage rate of approximately 4,169 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual testing, with intervals of roughly 3,800 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 4,200 miles since. This low mileage generally suggests less wear on the complex drivetrain and suspension components, though low-mileage patterns can sometimes lead to flat spotting on tyres or brake disc corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyre condition given the recurring faults. The January 2026 failure flagged a nearside tyre with exposed cords and an offside front tyre worn to the edge, while the January 2025 failure noted a nearside rear tyre fouling the body. These issues suggest a history of neglecting tyre pressures or potential alignment problems that could cause uneven wear. Inspect the wheel arches for signs of rubbing and check the current set of tyres for uniform wear patterns to ensure the previous issues were resolved with high-quality replacements.
