2003 MERCEDES-BENZ CL5.4L Petrol

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, as the January 3 2026 MOT at 160,170 miles recorded a pass with no defects. The consecutive passes from September 2021 through January 2026 show a stable maintenance trend, with each test reflecting consistent mileage increments and no escalating faults. At 160,170 miles the car averages roughly 6,964 miles per year, aligning with typical usage for a 2003 model that is 23 years old. The mileage steps between tests are modest – 1,548 miles from September 2021 to September 2022, 753 miles from September 2022 to September 2023, 835 miles from September 2023 to September 2024, and 2,624 miles from September 2024 to January 2026 – indicating regular use without prolonged standing periods. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, verify that the rear brakes are not binding and that the brake discs show even wear, and examine the chassis and wheel arches for corrosion that could compromise structural integrity. Since the MOT history contains no recorded advisories, the primary focus should be on confirming the physical condition of these high‑risk components during a personal inspection, ensuring that the observed stability in the record translates into genuine mechanical health.
