2007 MERCEDES-BENZ CLS3.5L Petrol

The 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLS presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 23 December 2025 at 129,082 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior annual tests in December 2024 and December 2023 also concluded with passes and no advisories, indicating the vehicle has not shown escalating mechanical faults across its recent inspection history. Recorded mileage sits at 129,082 against an approximate 19-year lifespan, equating to roughly 6,794 miles per year which is typical for a vehicle of this age. The odometer advanced from 114,464 miles at the December 2023 test to 123,546 miles by December 2024, then to 129,082 by December 2025, reflecting consistent low-to-moderate annual use with no abrupt accumulation. The DVSA data shows clean results across all completed tests, with the only blemishes being two failed entries on 16 December 2024 at 123,545 miles and 20 December 2023 at 114,464 miles, both of which recorded no defects and were immediately superseded by passes the following day, suggesting administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical non-compliance. Given the absence of recorded advisories or defects across the valid passes, the MOT history alone reveals no recurring suspension bushes wear, brake disc corrosion, exhaust emission breaches, or structural integrity concerns. A buyer should still commission an independent physical inspection of coil springs, binding calipers, and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and the limitations of MOT pass results in capturing gradual consumable degradation. The repeated same-day fail-then-pass pattern without noted defects implies the prior owner maintained valid road legality but the test station logs offer no evidence of skipped basic upkeep such as tyre tread or wiper blade neglect. Prospective purchasers should verify service records independently, as the clean MOT trail provides no warning flags but equally no deep assurance on drivetrain condition at 129,082 miles.
