Our Verdict
Exercise caution due to high mileage. Wh
Given the 133,295 miles on the clock, a comprehensive service history is essential. Look for evidence of major preventative maintenance, such as timing chain checks or transmission fluid changes, which are critical for higher-mileage Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
Check for invoices relating to the July 2025 MOT failures to ensure the worn brake discs and tyres were replaced with quality parts rather than just patched. Use the above-average mileage compared to the model's 8,515 annual average as a point for price negotiation.
The 1595cc petrol engine provides a balance of performance and efficiency, though fuel costs will be higher than diesel counterparts. Tax and insurance will be based on the 2013 registration brackets and the CLA's specific insurance group.
Maintenance costs for this model can be higher than average due to the premium nature of Mercedes-Benz parts. With the vehicle now over 130,000 miles, the buyer should budget for more frequent wear-and-tear replacements.
Pay close attention to the suspension, specifically the rear coil springs, as a fractured offside rear spring led to a failure in July 2024. Ensure the ride is level and there are no unusual knocking sounds from the rear.
Inspect the front brake discs for any remaining pitting or scoring, as these were flagged in 2025. Additionally, check the inner tread of the front tyres to ensure they are wearing evenly, following the 'worn on edge' advisory recorded at 120,548 miles.
This white 2013 Mercedes-Benz CLA has recorded 133,295 miles, which is above the model average. The MOT history shows a clean pass on 1st August 2026, but previous years recorded failures for a fractured rear coil spring, worn brake discs, and tyres. It represents a high-mileage example of the 1.6L petrol variant.
The CLA has a respectable average MOT pass rate of 85.0%, with tyres and brake pads identified as the most common failure points.
