2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA 2.0L Petrol · SX65 FCY

The vehicle currently presents a positive roadworthiness status with a clear trend of improving maintenance consistency. The most recent inspection conducted on 21 March 2025 at 56,719 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the mechanical and safety concerns from previous years have been successfully addressed. While the history shows instances of failure, the clean pass suggests that the current or recent owner is proactive in rectifying identified faults identified by the tester. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,672 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap of 9,000 miles between August 2023 (45,710 miles) and August 2024 (54,639 miles), followed by a further 2,080 miles covered in the subsequent seven months. This low-frequency usage suggests the car has not suffered heavy strain on the drivetrain or suspension, though it also increases the risk of fluid degradation and the drying of rubber components if the car sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that caused failures in August 2023 and August 2024, although the specific mechanical causes were not detailed in the summary. Given the recurring failures in close succession, it is vital to verify the condition of the suspension bushes, brake components, and exhaust system to ensure the repairs were comprehensive. The low mileage also warrants a close check for corrosion on the brake rotors and structural integrity of the chassis, as these are common issues for vehicles that are driven infrequently.
