Our Verdict
This 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS offers good luxury credentials but requires careful inspection due to a significant 2023 MOT failure. The recent MOT shows manageable issues, but the drive shaft boot failure indicates potential hidden repair costs.
Prioritise a full mechanical inspection of the rear drive shaft boots and suspension components, as the 2023 MOT failure indicates potential CV joint exposure to dirt. Check service history for any repairs related to these components. Negotiate based on the 2023 failure and tyre condition. Verify that the vehicle has been stored in a dry environment to prevent rust, common in older German cars.
Diesel fuel economy averages 35-40 mpg on the motorway, but drops to 25-30 mpg in town. Road tax for a diesel car registered before 2017 is £140 annually. Insurance groups for 2012 CLS models typically fall in the 12-15 range. Major maintenance costs could include £300-£500 for drive shaft boot replacements. Estimated annual running cost: £1,200-£1,500.
Focus on the rear drive shaft boots and CV joints for signs of wear or damage, as this was a recurring issue in 2023. Check rear tyres for uneven wear patterns and confirm tread depth. Inspect suspension components for leaks or damage. Verify that the vehicle has no history of body rust, particularly in the wheel arches and underbody. Review service records for any repairs related to the drivetrain.
A 2012 CLS with 57,093 miles shows mixed MOT history. While most checks passed, a 2023 failure involving rear drive shaft boot damage raises concerns. The vehicle has below-average mileage for its age, but the 2025 MOT noted rear tyres approaching legal limits. No aggregate reliability data available for this model.
No aggregate MOT data available for the Mercedes-Benz CLS model, making it difficult to assess general reliability trends.
