2015 Mercedes-Benz CLS 2.1L Diesel · BT15 AEA

The Mercedes-Benz CLS holds a valid roadworthy pass as of 26 November 2025, tested at 117,681 miles and just under eight months before today. The maintenance trend stays stable across the recorded history, with no defects or advisories at any examination from December 2022 to the latest test. A single irregularity appears on 3 December 2024: the record lists both a pass and a failure at 104,748 miles, each with no defects recorded. This duplicate or administrative anomaly does not signal mechanical decline. Odometer readings track a typical eleven-year lifespan. The car recorded 83,669 miles on 21 December 2022, rose to 93,312 miles by 21 December 2023, then 104,748 miles on 3 December 2024, and 117,681 miles on 26 November 2025. Annual increments near 10,000 to 13,000 miles reveal steady private or light executive use, with no dormant periods or mileage spikes. The lean record, showing five consecutive clean outcomes, implies the previous keeper kept the vehicle to statutory test schedule without lapse. Buyers should still inspect inherent wear points that a defect-free MOT may overlook. At 117,000 miles, front suspension bushes and rear coil springs deserve close visual checks for cracking or sag. Brake discs and calipers must be measured for scoring or binding, while structural integrity around chassis rails and sills requires probing for corrosion. The 2015 build means rubber components and exhaust emissions hardware have aged regardless of test results. The unexplained same-date pass and fail in December 2024 warrants a request for the full DVSA failure reason from the seller, as the record omits detail. Consistent passes otherwise indicate basic upkeep was not skipped, but verify service invoices for transmission and coolant intervals to confirm long-term care.
