2015 Mercedes-Benz CLS 3.0L Diesel · BA64 PAA

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 26 January 2026 at 48,832 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, continuing a perfect record spanning the last five recorded years. This suggests a stable maintenance regime where the vehicle has been kept free of significant mechanical failures or structural degradation during the DVSA inspections. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,400 miles per year. Between January 2022 and January 2026, the car covered only 13,825 miles, indicating light use or long periods of stationary. The intervals between tests remain consistent, with annual usage ranging between roughly 2,500 and 4,800 miles in recent years. While this low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the likelihood of rubber-based parts suffering age-related decay rather than mechanical friction. Since the MOT record shows no recurring faults or warnings, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to low-mileage neglect. A buyer must check for cracking in tyre sidewalls and perished suspension bushes, which often occur when a vehicle sits stationary. The braking system should be examined for internal corrosion or seized calipers, as infrequent use can lead to surface pitting on the discs. Given the age of the Mercedes, verifying the integrity of fluid hoses and seals is essential to ensure the low mileage has not masked underlying environmental degradation.
