2015 Mercedes-Benz CLS 3.0L Diesel · DA65 FTV

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with all six MOT tests from 2022 to 2026 recording no defects. The most recent 2026-03-13 test at 75,301 miles confirmed compliance, aligning with the prior 2025-03-01 test at 73,102 miles and the 2024-03-12 test at 69,680 miles. No recurring issues or advisories were flagged across this five-year span, indicating consistent maintenance practices. The absence of mechanical or structural failures in these tests suggests the vehicle has been well-cared for, with no evidence of escalating faults in brakes, suspension, or emissions. Mileage progression shows a steady accumulation of 6,846 miles annually, consistent with the vehicle’s 11-year age. The 2022-01-18 test at 58,164 miles marked the first recorded data point, followed by annual checks with intervals of 8,375 to 3,422 miles. While the 2023-02-27 test at 66,539 miles showed a larger jump from the 2022 mileage, this reflects typical usage patterns rather than excessive wear. The lack of irregularities in the MOT history implies no prolonged periods of inactivity or abrupt mileage surges that might indicate neglect. A physical inspection should focus on suspension components, particularly rear coil springs and bushings, which can degrade over time without visible MOT failures. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as these issues may not trigger immediate advisories. Corrosion on the chassis and body panels remains a potential risk given the vehicle’s age, though no structural defects were recorded. The absence of tyre-related advisories suggests regular tread checks, but a closer look at tyre condition and wheel alignment is recommended to confirm ongoing maintenance.
