2009 Mercedes-Benz CLS 3.0L Diesel · BG59 RXT

This vehicle presents as mechanically stable and roadworthy based on the available data. The most recent MOT pass on 31 May 2025 at 99,682 miles was achieved with no recorded defects or advisories. This clean bill of health follows a consistent pattern of passing tests without technical failures over the last three years, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that satisfies DVSA requirements. The mileage is notably low for a 2009 model, averaging roughly 5,864 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between April 2024 and May 2025, where the odometer rose from 88,106 to 99,682 miles. This jump of over 11,000 miles in thirteen months indicates a shift from light use to more regular driving. The low overall mileage reduces the likelihood of heavy drivetrain wear but increases the risk of issues associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Rubber perishables, such as suspension bushes and engine mounts, often crack on low-mileage older cars. Check for signs of corrosion on the chassis and brake lines, as the record shows no structural failures but does not account for surface rust. Inspect the brake discs for pitting or corrosion and verify the condition of the tyres. While the MOT history is exceptionally clean, the absence of any advisories over several years is uncommon for a seventeen year old vehicle. Confirm that the service history aligns with these clean tests to ensure the car has not simply been minimally maintained to pass the legal threshold.
