This 2013 CLA220 CDI is a significant reliability concern: it passes its MOT on the first attempt only 44% of the time, compared to the UK average of 80%, and nearly half of tested vehicles rack up at least one failure. The good news is that dangerous defects haven't been recorded in this cohort, so while these cars need work, they're not presenting catastrophic safety risks.
With a median mileage of 92,943 miles for an 11-year-old model, these cars are running around the typical wear level for their age, yet they're still failing MOTs at twice the national rate—suggesting the CLA220 diesel's design or build quality presents genuine durability challenges rather than just age-related wear. Before buying one, get a pre-purchase inspection focused on the systems that typically fail (likely drivetrain, suspension, or emissions-related components), and budget for repairs in your first year of ownership.
