2022 Mercedes-Benz CLA 220 AMG Line Premium D A 1.9L Diesel · YC22 KWL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT pass on 26 May 2026 at 60,090 miles. The maintenance trend appears broadly consistent, though the latest test flagged a recurring consumable issue rather than any structural or mechanical failure. Both nearside and offside front inner tyres were worn close to the legal limit and worn on the inner edge. This indicates the front tyres are wearing unevenly, likely from misalignment or worn suspension geometry components, and the owner is replacing them only when they reach the minimum tread depth rather than addressing the root cause proactively. The 2025 test at 45,918 miles passed cleanly apart from a note regarding underbody trays being fitted, suggesting no significant mechanical faults were present at that stage. The mileage pattern reveals rapid accumulation for a 2022-registered vehicle. Between the May 2025 test at 45,918 miles and the May 2026 test at 60,090 miles, the car covered 14,172 miles in twelve months, confirming the high annual usage of approximately 15,000 miles. The MOT history is sparse with only two recorded tests, both of which were first-time passes, so there is no pattern of repeated failures to analyse. The limited data means a buyer cannot rely on MOT records alone to build a full picture of the vehicle's mechanical care over its life. A buyer should inspect the front suspension geometry carefully. Inner-edge tyre wear on both front wheels points to excessive negative camber or worn suspension bushes and track rod ends. Have the tracking and wheel alignment checked on a four-wheel laser rig before committing. Examine the condition of the front lower arms, ball joints, and anti-roll bar links for play, as these components endure greater stress at this mileage. The underbody trays noted in 2025 should be removed temporarily during any inspection to check for corrosion on the subframe, sills, and jacking points, particularly around the front suspension mounting areas. High-mileage diesel automatic examples like this one also warrant a check of the dual-mass flywheel for clutch judder and a review of whether the automatic gearbox has had a fluid and filter change, as Mercedes-Benz service schedules recommend this at around 60,000 miles. The brake discs and pads should be measured for wear given the mileage, and a road test should confirm the exhaust system meets emissions standards under load, as diesel particulate filter efficiency can degrade with sustained short trips despite the high overall mileage. The tyre wear pattern is the most telling detail in this record. It suggests routine servicing may have been adequate for oil and filter changes but that suspension and alignment checks were not prioritised, which is a common pattern on high-mileage cars driven primarily on motorways.
