2018 Mercedes-Benz CLA 1.6L Petrol · SR18 LGV

The 2018 Mercedes-Benz CLA presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 24 June 2025 at 50,080 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results since at least February 2022. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the five-year DVSA history, which indicates the vehicle has not required corrective work within the test regime. Mileage has accumulated at a modest rate consistent with typical use for an eight-year-old car. The record shows 26,879 miles at the 8 February 2022 test, rising to 33,102 by 30 January 2023, 38,259 by 31 January 2024, 46,831 by 27 January 2025, and 50,080 by June 2025. Annual increments sit near 6,000 miles with no abrupt jumps or dormant gaps, and the sparse but clean record gives no signal of neglected consumables or deferred servicing caught by the tester. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection despite the fault-free MOT trail. The absence of advisories means worn suspension bushes, corroding subframes, or fatigued coil springs were not flagged, yet annual testing captures only test-day condition. Given the low yearly mileage, check for perishing rubber components and brake caliper binding from standing periods. Verify service history against the recorded odometer to confirm oil changes and brake fluid renewal kept pace. The clean MOT trend reflects responsible presentation rather than a guarantee of underlying drivetrain health, so a pre-purchase mechanical assessment remains prudent.
