2007 MERCEDES-BENZ CLK2.1L Diesel

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-08-21 at 154,513 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. However, a prior test on 2025-08-13 at 154,508 miles showed a failure, though no specific defects were noted. This pattern of alternating pass/fail outcomes without recorded issues suggests potential inconsistencies in testing or unresolved minor faults. The 2024-08-13 pass at 152,509 miles and 2023-08-30 pass at 147,526 miles indicate a stable trend in earlier years, but the recent failure raises questions about the vehicle’s reliability. The mileage progression aligns with an average of 8,132 miles annually, consistent with its 19-year age. A notable jump from 147,526 miles (2023-08-30) to 152,504 miles (2024-08-12) reflects a 4,978-mile increase over 12 months, followed by a slower 2,004-mile rise to 154,513 miles by 2025-08-21. This suggests reduced usage in the most recent year, which may indicate lighter driving or periods of inactivity. The MOT records lack detailed defect descriptions, limiting insight into recurring mechanical or structural concerns. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these components often degrade in older vehicles. The absence of brake-related defects in MOT records does not preclude the need for a thorough check of caliper binding, brake disc thickness, or pad wear. Corrosion risks, particularly in the underbody or chassis, warrant scrutiny given the car’s age. While the MOT history shows no major failures, the recent unexplained failure and sparse defect data necessitate a professional mechanical assessment to confirm roadworthiness.
