2019 Mercedes-Benz CLS 3.0L Hybrid electric · VV08 ART

This vehicle is in a strong state of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 19 May 2026 at 49,499 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates the car is currently meeting all legal safety and environmental standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a seven year old executive saloon. The vehicle covered 8,021 miles between November 2023 and November 2024, and a further 8,021 miles between November 2024 and May 2026. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods of standing, which generally benefits the health of the battery and rubber seals. The historical record shows very few mechanical failures. A minor issue with the offside front lower suspension arm ball joint was flagged on 26 April 2022 at 21,225 miles, though it did not result in a failure. The only notable concerns appeared during the 28 November 2024 test at 41,478 miles, where the tester noted slight sidewall damage to both front tyres. These are consumable items and do not suggest a systemic mechanical fault. A buyer should perform a visual inspection of the current tyre sidewalls to ensure the damage noted in 2024 was rectified with replacements rather than temporary repairs. Given the age and the previous mention of the suspension ball joint, a quick check of the front suspension bushes for perishing or cracking is advisable. There is no evidence of structural corrosion or brake deterioration in the DVSA data.
