2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA 2.1L Diesel · V23 SPM

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness based on a consistently clean MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 09 May 2025 at 81,568 miles returned no defects or advisories, maintaining a trend of perfect passes over the last four years. This suggests the previous owners have been proactive with maintenance and addressed potential mechanical issues before they resulted in a test failure. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,157 miles per year. Between May 2022 at 48,213 miles and May 2025 at 81,568 miles, the car covered 33,355 miles, representing a steady usage pattern of roughly 11,000 miles annually during that specific interval. The vehicle has not been subjected to long periods of standing, which helps prevent seal degradation and corrosion, nor has it seen excessive wear from high-frequency motorway driving. While the digital record shows no recurring faults, an in-person inspection should focus on components typical for this age and mileage bracket. A buyer should examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking or premature wear, as these often fatigue after a decade of use. Additionally, checking the brake discs for uneven wear or binding calipers is advisable, as the MOT test does not always detect minor hydraulic performance issues. The structural integrity appears sound given the history, indicating a well-maintained Mercedes that has avoided significant mechanical neglect.
