2013 Mercedes-Benz CLS250 CDI Blueefficiency Auto 2.1L Diesel · SK13 OOW

The vehicle currently holds a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean MOT pass on June 4, 2026 at 125,555 miles. This recent test recorded no defects, suggesting the immediate mechanical and safety components meet minimum standards. While the car suffered a failure in March 2025 at 108,351 miles, the subsequent pass just one month later indicates that the identified issues were addressed promptly. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,600 miles per annum. Between October 2022 at 73,424 miles and January 2024 at 90,935 miles, the car covered 17,511 miles. A more recent interval occurred between the April 2025 and June 2026 tests, where 15,556 miles were logged in fourteen months. This regular use suggests consistent operation, which often helps prevent the seal degradation and brake seizing issues associated with long periods of standing. Despite the clean most recent result, a buyer must remain vigilant regarding the inherent wear associated with a high-mileage diesel Mercedes. The inspection should focus heavily on the condition of the suspension bushes and control arm ball, which frequently perish at this mileage bracket. The buyer should also verify the state of the brake discs and calipers for thinning or uneven wear, as the MOT record does not capture minor binding issues between tests. Checking the chassis for structural corrosion is also necessary to ensure the integrity of the vehicle remains sound as it ages further.
