2015 Mercedes-Benz CLA 2.1L Diesel · YY65 EKX

The 2015 Mercedes-Benz CLA currently holds a valid MOT certificate following its most recent pass on 31 March 2026 at 71,150 miles. The maintenance trend remains broadly stable, characterized by alternating years of clean passes and minor consumable advisories. The latest test flagged both front tyres worn close to the legal limit on the edges, indicating a recurring pattern of front tyre wear that mirrors the offside front tyre advisory recorded in March 2022 at 41,331 miles. Annual mileage accumulation averages around 6,400 miles, which aligns with typical usage for an eleven-year-old vehicle. The odometer readings show consistent yearly increments without suspicious gaps or sudden spikes, climbing steadily from 49,210 miles in March 2023 to 57,299 miles in March 2024, and reaching the current 71,150 miles. This steady usage suggests regular driving rather than prolonged standing. The recurring tyre damage and cosmetic advisories, such as the damaged nearside rear tyre sidewall and broken wheel arch liner noted in March 2024, point to a previous owner who deferred minor cosmetic and consumable repairs until absolutely necessary. A prospective buyer should physically inspect the front suspension geometry and steering components. The repeated advisories for front tyres wearing on the edges strongly suggest underlying alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. Check the front coil springs and lower control arms for excessive play. Verify the current tread depth and physical condition of all four tyres, as the nearside rear suffered sidewall damage in 2024 and both fronts were flagged for edge wear less than three months ago. Confirm the tyre pressure monitoring system functions correctly, given the dashboard warning lamp illuminated during the 2024 assessment.
