2015 Mercedes-Benz CLA 2.1L Diesel · TY13 STM

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive rather than preventative mechanical care. The most recent test in September 2025 at 88,276 miles passed with only a minor failure regarding an offside side repeater. This represents a stable trend compared to the 2023 record, which flagged multiple issues across tyres and braking components, suggesting the owner has recently addressed more significant wear items. The mileage progression is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Between September 2021 at 48,145 miles and September 2025 at 88,276 miles, the car covered roughly 40,000 miles, showing steady usage patterns. There are no significant gaps in the testing schedule to suggest long periods of stagnation, which often leads to the accelerated degradation of rubber components and corrosion on unexposed metal surfaces as seen in the earlier advisories. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear braking system and suspension geometry. The records from 2021 and 2023 consistently highlighted pitted and scored rear brake discs and thin pads, which often indicates either infrequent use of the rear brakes or sticking calipers. Furthermore, the repeated mentions of misshaped and edge-worn tyres in 2023 suggest potential wheel alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. A close check of the current tyres for uneven wear is necessary to ensure that previous tracking faults have not resulted in lasting mechanical damage to the steering assembly.
