2018 Mercedes-Benz CLS 2.9L Diesel · S27 AAK

The vehicle presents an exemplary maintenance record, having passed five consecutive MOT tests without a single recorded defect or advisory. The most recent inspection on 18 December 2025 at 43,623 miles confirms the car remains in a stable and roadworthy condition. This clean history suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance and diligent ownership, as the absence of minor component failures typically indicates that consumables were replaced before reaching the point of test failure. The recorded mileage of 43,623 over an eight-year lifespan averages approximately 5,453 miles per annum, which is considerably lower than the national average for a vehicle of this class. The progression of mileage is consistent and linear, showing no evidence of long-term storage or irregular usage patterns. The gap between the 2021 test at 17,853 miles and the 2022 test at 24,567 miles shows a slight increase in annual usage, but the vehicle has since settled into a predictable cycle of roughly 4,500 miles per year. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the braking system and suspension components, as the lack of MOT advisories means the history does not highlight the current state of these wear-prone parts. While the electronic record is spotless, you must verify the physical thickness of the brake discs and the integrity of the suspension bushes, as low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from perished rubber components or seized calipers due to infrequent use. Check the tyres for signs of age-related sidewall cracking and confirm that the service history documentation aligns with the low mileage to ensure the engine has received timely oil changes despite the limited annual distance covered.
