Expert AI · Mechanic's Insight

The 2025 MOT for the 2004 Mercedes CLK recorded a pass at 98,198 miles, but several recurring mechanical issues were noted. These include an oil leak (not excessive), slight play in the nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint, nearside rear tyre worn close to legal limit, and slight play in both front wheel bearings. These findings align with earlier MOTs, indicating persistent concerns with suspension components and tyre wear. A pattern of suspension-related defects emerges, particularly with ball joints and bushings. The nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint showed slight play in 2025, 2024, and 2023 MOTs. The 2024 MOT also highlighted a severely deteriorated dust cover on the offside rear lower suspension arm, suggesting ongoing wear in this area. Wheel bearing play was consistently recorded, with both front bearings showing slight movement in multiple tests. These issues may indicate gradual degradation of suspension components, requiring close inspection. Tyre wear is another recurring theme. Nearside and offside front tyres were repeatedly noted as worn close to legal limits or on the edge, with one nearside front tyre showing a bulge in 2023.
