2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA 2.1L Diesel · WD14 USB

The vehicle currently maintains a clean roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent pass on 10 March 2026 at 119,667 miles. This result indicates a stable maintenance trend where the owner has successfully addressed previous compliance issues. While the history shows instances of failure, the transition to a clean pass without recorded defects suggests that the mechanical and safety components are currently performing within the DVSA tolerance levels. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old Mercedes-Benz, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. Between March 2024 at 106,597 miles and March 2025 at 113,047 miles, the vehicle covered 6,450 miles, showing a slightly lower annual average that suggests regular use rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for seals and brake components. The jump of 6,620 miles in the most recent year confirms a steady and predictable operational schedule. The failures recorded in March 2024 and March 2025 indicate that specific components required immediate attention prior to those tests. Since the records does not list the specific reasons for these failures, a buyer must verify the current condition of the suspension, braking system, and exhaust assembly. The absence of advisories in the 2026 test is encouraging, but it also means the tester did not flag minor wear items that have not yet reached the threshold of a failure. At nearly 120,000 miles, a physical inspection should focus on the integrity of the suspension bushes and control arms, as these often perish at this interval. The buyer should also check for signs of oil fluid leaks around the drivetrain and inspect the brake discs for excessive thinning or pitting. While the MOT record is currently clear, the history of failures suggests a proactive approach to repairs is necessary to keep the vehicle roadworthy.
