2013 Mercedes-Benz CLA 1.6L Petrol · XH13 GLH

The 2013 Mercedes-Benz CLA presents as roadworthy on the strength of the most recent test, where the tester passed it at 78,594 miles on 13 October 2025 with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the available history, with every pass carrying a clean sheet and no advisories logged at any stage. A failed entry sits against the same date and mileage as that final pass, yet the DVSA record shows no defects attached to the failure, which points to an administrative or documentation rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage sat at 52,104 miles in February 2019 and rose to 62,064 by May 2020, a modest 9,960 miles over fifteen months. The next reading jumps to 76,061 on 27 January 2025, implying roughly 14,000 miles across nearly five years off the record. Annual use averages 6,046 miles, typical for the age, but the gap between 2020 and 2025 leaves the interim condition unverified by MOT data. The car then covered only 2,533 miles to the October 2025 pass, suggesting lighter recent use. No tester ever flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, binding calipers, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across the five entries. The absence of advisories means no recurring wear pattern emerges from the official record. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody for rust, given the unexplained 2020 to 2025 gap and the car's thirteen years. Verify the October 2025 failure reason with DVLA, since a no-defect fail is irregular and may affect confidence in the paperwork.
