Spanner can help turn your car details into an advert.
Could suit you if…
- Your usual group fits within 5 seats, including the driver. Check passenger space and any child-seat fit in person.
- Many journeys are local or relatively short: petrol can fit that use without choosing diesel just for occasional long trips.
- You often load a pushchair, dog or bulky bags: an estate layout could be useful. Try your own luggage rather than judging by the exterior size.
- You would prefer less gear changing in traffic: the recorded automatic transmission may suit. Try how this exact gearbox behaves on a test drive.
Think twice if…
- You need to carry more than 5 people together: the advert records 5 seats, including the driver.
- You need servicing to fit a tight budget: Spanner estimates higher maintenance costs for this type. Get quotes for the exact engine and gearbox before committing.
This is general guidance about this type of car and your needs — not an inspection or approval of this individual car.
The CLA line in 2017 came as the four‑door coupe and as the Shooting Brake (estate) — confirm which body you’re looking at before buying. Most petrol CLAs use turbocharged 1.6/2.0 engines paired to Mercedes’ 7‑speed dual‑clutch automatic; the DCT can be jerky at low speeds if not maintained and turbocharged engines are sensitive to irregular oil changes. Parts and dealer servicing cost more than mainstream cars, but components are widely available in Ireland.
- Automatic (7‑speed DCT) behaviour: watch for clutch shudder, jerky low‑speed shifts, long pulls or limp‑home mode and ask if any DCT software/recall work was done.
- Turbo and oil signs: check for blue smoke on cold start, oil in intercooler pipes and oil leaks around the turbo drain/hoses.
- Suspension and steering: listen for knocks, worn drop‑link/bushing noise and check for uneven tyre wear which indicates worn bushes or tracking issues.
- Rear occupancy and boot (especially if claimed as Shooting Brake): check rear headroom/legroom, boot seal/tailgate alignment and for any water ingress around the boot glass seals.
- Electricals and parking aids: verify camera, parking sensors, automatic wipers/mirrors and HVAC operate correctly (electrical gremlins are common on older premium cars).
