2007 Mercedes-Benz CLS 3.0L Diesel · A1 JMH

The 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLS passed its most recent MOT on 17 December 2025 at 247,531 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every test from 21 December 2021 through to the latest examination returning a clean pass and zero advisories. This indicates the vehicle has been presented in a consistently roadworthy condition over the past four years. Recorded mileage rose from 177,078 in December 2021 to 247,531 by December 2025, an accumulation of roughly 70,450 miles in that window at an effective rate near 17,600 miles per year. Against the 19-year lifespan and an average of about 13,000 miles annually, the car shows sustained high use rather than long dormant periods. The DVSA entries are sparse between 2021 and 2024, with no 2022 test logged, yet the documented passes show no gap in valid cover and no sudden unexplained jumps in odometer readings. A clean MOT sheet with no advisories does not exempt the buyer from physical inspection. At 247,531 miles the suspension bushes, coil springs, and front control arm joints on this CLS will be subject to fatigue even if the tester raised no concerns. Brake discs and calipers should be stripped and measured, as binding or uneven wear often escapes a visual MOT check until past the limit. Structural corrosion around the subframes and sill sections must be confirmed with a ramp, given the age and winter mileage exposure. The high odometer also warrants a check of drivetrain condition, including gearbox oil history and differential noise. The absence of recorded faults implies basic upkeep was maintained, but the mileage demands verification of consumables and hidden mechanical wear before purchase.
