2015 Mercedes-Benz CLA 2.1L Diesel · T3 UDY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 23 May 2025 at 85,483 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This clean bill of health follows a consistent pattern over the last three years, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is typical for an eleven year old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,771 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between 23 May 2023 at 55,527 miles and 24 May 2024 at 72,805 miles, where the car covered over 17,000 miles in a single year. Usage then levelled off slightly, adding approximately 12,600 miles by the May 2025 test. This fluctuation is normal for a private user vehicle and does not indicate any abnormal wear patterns. The absence of advisories or failures across the 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests is unusual for a car of this age. While the record is clean, a buyer should still manually inspect the brake discs and pads for wear, as these are consumables that may not trigger a failure until they reach a critical limit. Checking the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing or corrosion is also advisable given the vehicle's age. The record shows two instances where the car failed and passed on the same day, specifically on 17 May 2024 and 23 May 2025. Because the DVSA record lists no specific defects for these failures, it implies the issues were minor and rectified immediately on site. A physical inspection should focus on the chassis and underbody to ensure no structural corrosion has been overlooked, as MOT testers sometimes overlook early-stage oxidation that does not yet constitute a failure.
