2013 Mercedes-Benz CLS 2.1L Diesel · BH04 MBO

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a pass on 11 November 2025 at 39,152 miles. While the most recent test recorded no defects, the overall maintenance trend shows a period of instability during late 2025. The two consecutive failures in October and early November of 2025 indicate a specific mechanical or emissions issue that required immediate rectification to meet compliance standards. Despite these recent setbacks, the vehicle returned to a clean state for the final test of the recorded history. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,012 miles per year. Between October 2024 and October 2025, the car covered 7,260 miles, which represents a significant spike in usage compared to its historical average. This low mileage often reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it increases risks associated with component degradation due to inactivity. The one-year gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests suggests the vehicle likely sat for long periods, which can lead to perished rubber seals and seized brake components. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking system to account for the intermittent use. Low mileage frequently results in perished suspension bushes and binding brake calipers due to lack of regular friction. Because the recent failures in late 2025 occurred without recorded defect descriptions in this summary, the buyer should verify if the repairs addressed any recurring sensor or emissions-related faults that might trigger such failures. Pay close attention to structural corrosion on the underbody and exhaust, as vehicles that remain stationary often suffer more from accelerated surface rust than those subjected to regular transit.
