2010 Mercedes-Benz CLS 3.0L Diesel · BW08 ELL

The vehicle's MOT history shows a stable trend of passing tests in recent years. The most recent test on 8 November 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a successful test on 13 November 2024, which also showed no defects. A failure occurred on 22 January 2024, though the record does not specify the exact mechanical reason for this failure. The recorded mileage of 82,257 miles is low for a 2010 model, averaging approximately 5,141 miles per year. The MOT records show a cluster of tests in early 2024, with tests on 2 February 2024 and 13 November 2024, suggesting more frequent inspections during that period. There is a notable gap in testing between 15 December 2022 and 22 January 2024. Because the MOT history lacks specific details regarding the January 2024 failure, a physical inspection should focus on common age-related wear for this model. A buyer should examine the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as low-mileage vehicles can suffer from perished rubber components due to age rather than use. Checking for corrosion on the underside and ensuring the brake discs and calipers are free from binding or excessive pitting is also necessary. The lack of recorded advisories in the most recent tests suggests no immediate issues with lighting, tyres, or wipers were flagged by the tester. However, the absence of detailed defect descriptions in the 2024 failure means the underlying cause of that specific issue remains unverified through the digital record alone.
