2021 Mercedes-Benz CLA 1.3L Petrol · X8 OJF

The vehicle achieved a clean pass at its most recent MOT test on 7 May 2025 at 64,040 miles, following a failure just one week earlier on 30 April 2025 at 64,037 miles. The rapid turnaround between the failed and passed tests indicates that whatever caused the initial failure was addressed promptly and effectively. With no defects recorded on either occasion, the maintenance trend appears stable, though the sparse MOT history limits long-term trend analysis. The vehicle is now approaching its next scheduled MOT, as the most recent test occurred over fourteen months ago. At approximately 64,040 miles on a five-year-old vehicle, this Mercedes-Benz CLA has covered roughly 12,808 miles per year since new, which represents above-average usage for its age. The mileage progression shows 56,618 miles recorded on 24 April 2024, increasing to 64,037 miles by 30 April 2025, representing approximately 7,422 miles accumulated over a twelve-month period. This rate of approximately 6,850 miles per year between 2024 and 2025 is notably lower than the vehicle's overall average, suggesting reduced usage in the most recent recorded period. The MOT history itself contains only three entries spanning from April 2024 to May 2025, which provides a narrow window into the vehicle's long-term maintenance pattern. The MOT record contains no advisories or specific component failures, which is reassuring for a vehicle of this mileage and age. However, the absence of recorded defects does not guarantee the absence of wear on high-mileage components. Prospective buyers should arrange a physical inspection focusing on brake pad thickness, disc condition, and caliper operation given the rapid fail-to-pass cycle in 2025. Suspension bush wear, wheel bearing play, and steering component condition warrant particular attention on a vehicle that has covered this distance in relatively few years. The absence of any emissions-related advisories is positive, but exhaust system integrity and catalytic converter efficiency should still be verified. Tyre condition and wheel alignment should also be checked, as these consumables typically require replacement more frequently on higher-mileage vehicles.
