2022 Mercedes Benz Amg Cla 45 S 4matic+ Plus Auto
CarHunch analysed 117 real MOT records for the 2022 Mercedes Benz Amg Cla 45 S 4matic+ Plus Auto. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2022 AMG CLA 45 S sits bang on the UK average with a 79.9% first-time pass rate, and dangerous defects are uncommon at 11.1% of the fleet—well below the danger threshold. It's a solid performer for a high-performance car, with petrol engines typically holding up better than diesels, though this cohort skews petrol anyway.
These cars are running at 23,670 miles median for their age, which is typical usage, and the low failure count of 0.21 per vehicle suggests mechanically sound engineering. Before purchasing, have a pre-buy inspection focus on the AMG-specific turbo and suspension components, since the modest advisory rate (0.5 per vehicle) means issues tend to be minor when they appear—but when they do on a £50k+ performance car, they won't be cheap to fix.
What to check before buying a 2022 Mercedes Benz Amg Cla 45 S 4matic+ Plus Auto
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
