2015 Mercedes-Benz CLS 2.1L Diesel · DN15 RWJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass record over the last three years. The most recent test on 3 January 2025 at 81,108 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2022 and 2024, suggesting that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that avoids recurring mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per annum. Between January 2022 at 58,390 miles and January 2024 at 72,067 miles, the car covered 13,677 miles, which aligns with typical low-intensity usage. The subsequent 9,041 miles recorded between the January 2024 and 2025 tests shows a steady rate of operation. This low mileage generally reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes mask age-related degradation of rubber components and seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking system, despite the clean MOT history. The Mercedes-Benz CLS chassis is prone to control arm bushing and coil spring fatigue which manifest over time regardless of low mileage. The single failure recorded on 10 January 2023 at 65,200 miles, which was rectified just six days later for a pass, suggests a minor issue that was addressed immediately. Inspect for signs of corrosion on the brake calipers and check the condition of the tyres to ensure that long periods of standing have not caused excessive seizing or uneven wear.
