2013 MERCEDES-BENZ CLS 350 CDI AMG BLUE EFFI3.0L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a clean pass on 20 April 2026 at 71,205 miles. While the record shows a failure just one month prior on 31 March 2026 at 70,283 miles, the lack of recorded defects for that failure suggests an administrative error or a minor issue that was immediately rectified. The overall maintenance trend remains consistent, as the car has passed consecutive tests without recorded advisories over the last three years. The mileage profile is notably low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. Data shows a consistent pattern of light usage between 2023 and 2025, where the car covered only 5,586 miles over two years. There was a recent increase in activity between January 2025 and April 2026, with nearly 10,000 miles covered in just fifteen months. This low mileage often indicates less wear on the engine and drivetrain, though it increases the risk of rubber-based components degrading or brakes seizing due to periods of inactivity. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection focusing on the suspension and braking system, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from age-related degradation rather than mechanical wear. Check for perished control arm bushings and cracked coil springs which are common on this AMG-line chassis, and inspect for binding brake calipers. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches is essential, despite the MOT history not flagging any structural issues to date.
