2019 Mercedes-Benz CLA 1.3L Petrol · WF69 BGV

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz CLA presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 August 2025 at 60,911 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests also returned passes with no advisories. The single failure on 23 August 2023 at 38,707 miles carries no listed defects, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault, and the vehicle passed on the same day. This clean sequence shows consistent upkeep across the ownership period. Annual mileage sits at roughly 8,700 miles, typical for a seven-year-old car. The records show steady accumulation: 29,167 miles in September 2022, 38,707 in August 2023, 48,178 in August 2024, and 60,911 in August 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. The sparse but clean history gives little evidence of neglect, though the absence of any advisories across five tests suggests either light use or diligent pre-test preparation by the seller. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age. The MOT data flags no corrosion, binding calipers, or exhaust emission issues, yet testers recorded nothing to monitor. Verify the 23 August 2023 failure cause through DVSA channels, as the blank defect field leaves the reason unconfirmed. Check tyre tread depth and wiper condition in person despite no advisories. Low annual mileage can allow perishable components to degrade through age rather than wear. The CLA's record implies careful previous ownership, but physical checks remain essential before purchase.
