2017 Mercedes-Benz CLA 1.6L Petrol · SN67 YCS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 14 July 2025 at 83,132 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. While a failure was noted in July 2024, the immediate pass on re-test suggests the previous owner addressed the identified faults promptly. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,200 miles per annum. Between July 2022 and July 2024, the car covered 6,666 miles, showing a steady rate of accumulation rather than long periods of stationary neglect. The 1,618-mile gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests reflects a consistent driving habit, which generally reduces the accelerated wear seen on drivetrain components and suspension bushings compared to high-mileage examples. Given the clean records from the two most recent tests, a buyer should still verify the specific cause of the failure in July 2024 at 81,514 miles to ensure the repair was not a temporary fix. Because the record lacks recurring advisories for corrosion or brake wear, the physical inspection should focus on the condition of the rubber suspension components and the integrity of the underbody for surface rust. Checking for thin brake discs or signs of binding calipers is also advisable, as these are the most common components to require attention at this mileage despite a clean MOT history.
