Mercedes-Benz CLA — 二手车选购清单
Buying a used CLA? Add these checks on top of standard pre-purchase inspection. The C117 CLA is now 6–12 years old in Malaysia's used market — age-related electrical faults are increasingly common.
Transmission
- Test drive: pullaway judder = DCT fluid overdue. If 7G-Tronic: erratic gear changes = ATF overdue
- XENTRY: check for mechatronics fault codes, adaptation limits
Sunroof & Electrics
- Open/close panoramic sunroof fully — listen for motor strain or binding
- Ask when sunroof drains were last cleared
- XENTRY full scan: check airbag, COMAND, ADAS fault codes on C117
Engine & Carbon
- Any CLA over 60,000 km: ask about carbon cleaning history. If none: budget
- Cold start: listen for timing chain rattle in first 5 seconds
