MERCEDES-BENZ CLS2011 · 3.0L Diesel

The 2011 Mercedes-Benz CLS shows a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 2 September 2021 at 76,974 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the vehicle has carried no advisories or failures across the five available MOT entries. The maintenance record reflects consistent statutory compliance with no worsening mechanical faults observed over the examined period. Recorded mileage sits at 76,974 against an age of roughly fifteen years, equating to about 5,132 miles per year. The August 2018 test at 65,505 miles and the September 2021 pass at 76,974 miles reveal only 11,469 miles added across three years. A single anomaly appears in late August 2019: the car failed on 30 August at 69,429 miles yet passed the next day at 69,477 miles with no defects listed, suggesting an administrative or retest correction rather than a genuine fault. The sparse, clean history implies the previous keeper maintained basic test standards, though long standing periods between use may have occurred given the low annual distance. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and the likelihood of degraded rubber components from intermittent use. The absence of corrosion or structural advisories in the record is favourable, but DVSA testers do not strip panels; underbody structural integrity and hidden rust should be physically checked. Verify the current odometer against the 2021 figure of 76,974, as no test exists between September 2021 and today's date in July 2026. Confirm brake caliper freedom and exhaust emissions during a warm diagnostic, since five years without a recorded test leaves consumable and fluid condition unverified by MOT data.
