2011 Mercedes-Benz CLS 3.0L Diesel · DE57 AND

The vehicle presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 7 November 2023 at 140,424 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the 12 November 2022 examination at 133,263 miles produced both a fail and a pass on the same day with no defects listed, indicating an administrative or procedural anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. The absence of any advisories across the available record suggests the car has not shown worsening condition in the tested scope. The mileage pattern sits at a typical level for a 2011 Mercedes-Benz CLS, averaging roughly 9,362 miles per year against the 140,424 miles recorded. The gap between the 23 July 2019 test at 116,366 miles and the 10 August 2021 test at 120,906 miles shows only light use of around 4,540 miles across two years. From August 2021 to November 2022 the car covered 12,357 miles, then 7,161 miles to the final 2023 test. The record is sparse but clean, with no flagged wear on tyres, brakes, or suspension components. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and structural integrity given the vehicle's fifteen-year age and elevated mileage. The MOT history offers no evidence of corrosion or binding calipers, yet the test intervals leave long unrecorded periods where consumable wear could develop unseen. Verify the 2022 same-day fail-pass circumstance with DVSA to rule out omitted defect data before purchase.
