2006 Mercedes CLS55 5.4L Petrol · DN55 AMG

The vehicle has a stable maintenance trend, with the most recent test in January 2026 passing at 95,811 miles. However, the history includes two failures in November 2023 and November 2024, both at the same mileage of 89,584 and 91,814 miles respectively. These failures occurred without any defects recorded, suggesting a potential issue with the MOT testing process or a minor administrative error. The vehicle has not been tested since January 2026, which is within the expected 12-month MOT interval. The absence of recurring mechanical defects indicates no significant structural or mechanical issues, but the buyer should verify the cause of the two failures. The mileage pattern shows a consistent annual average of around 4,791 miles, which is lower than typical for a vehicle of this age. This suggests lighter use or periods of inactivity. The most recent test in January 2026 covers 95,811 miles, with the previous test in January 2025 at 91,820 miles, indicating a steady mileage accumulation. The two failures in November 2023 and November 2024 occurred at similar mileages, with no defects recorded, highlighting the need for further investigation into the testing process. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for any signs of structural integrity, particularly focusing on the suspension, brakes, and drivetrain components. The absence of recurring mechanical defects in the MOT history suggests no significant issues, but the two failures without recorded defects warrant further investigation. The buyer should also check for any signs of corrosion or wear on the exhaust system, as this is a common area of concern for vehicles of this age. Additionally, the buyer should verify the cause of the two failures to ensure there are no underlying mechanical issues.
