AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2007 Mercedes-Benz CL 500 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 February 2026 at 30,511 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results across the available history. The recorded mileage shows exceptionally light use for a 19-year-old vehicle. The February 2023 test at 27,342 miles, the February 2024 test at 28,614 miles, the February 2025 test at 30,072 miles, and the February 2026 test at 30,511 miles trace a steady annual accumulation of roughly 1,000 to 1,500 miles. The same-day fail and pass on 24 February 2023 at 27,342 miles carries no recorded defects, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The sparse, clean record gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural repairs. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers given the car's low annual mileage and likely long stationary periods. Drivetrain seals, exhaust emissions under load, and underbody corrosion warrant physical checks that a pass with no advisories does not capture. The absence of flagged wear across four years suggests careful prior ownership, but standing time on a 5.0-litre V8 demands verification of fluid condition and tyre sidewall ageing before purchase.
