2015 Mercedes-Benz CLS 3.0L Diesel · AF62 ARF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test on 1 October 2025 at 71,701 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a technical failure just three miles prior at 71,698 miles. This immediate success likely indicates a minor administrative error or a sensor fault that was rectified instantly, as the vehicle has maintained a clean record sheet across the previous three years of testing. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year over its eleven-year life. Between March 2023 at 50,840 miles and October 2025 at 71,701 miles, the car covered roughly 21,000 miles, showing steady but moderate usage. The dual testing in April and 2024 suggests the owner was proactive about compliance rather than waiting for annual deadlines. This low annual mileage suggests that wear on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and bushes should be relatively minimal compared to high-mileage examples. Because the record shows no recurring advisories for structural corrosion, suspension play, or brake binding, a physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation rather than mileage-based wear. A buyer should check the rubber components like control arm bushings and engine mounts, which can perish over time regardless of low mileage. They should also inspect the brake discs for pitting or corrosion, as low-use vehicles often suffer from surface rust if they sit for extended periods between journeys.
