2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA 1.6L Petrol · SS16 EAC

The vehicle demonstrates consistent roadworthiness with no defects recorded across its last five MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-07-05 assessment at 85,142 miles. All tests from 2021 to 2025 show stable maintenance, with no recurring issues or escalating faults. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the car has been maintained to a standard meeting legal requirements, though this does not guarantee absence of latent mechanical concerns. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 10-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles annually. The MOT records show regular testing intervals, with no significant gaps exceeding 12 months. The 2021-08-13 test at 60,148 miles marks the earliest entry, followed by consistent 10-12 month intervals. The 2022-08-12 test at 72,229 miles and 2023-09-22 at 77,856 miles indicate steady accumulation, with no abrupt spikes suggesting heavy usage or prolonged inactivity. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, which can degrade over time without visible defects. Brake discs and calipers should be inspected for uneven wear or corrosion, as these often manifest gradually. The exhaust system and structural integrity warrant scrutiny, as minor leaks or rust may not trigger MOT failures but could impact long-term reliability. The clean MOT history does not preclude these checks, which are standard for a vehicle of this age and mileage.
