2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS 2.1L Diesel · E2 DNG

The most recent MOT test on April 15, 2026, passed, but the vehicle's history shows a concerning pattern of brake and tyre wear issues. The history indicates a recurring mechanical pattern where brake components and tyres have been worn close to legal limits in consecutive tests. The failure in April 2026 was specifically due to thin rear brake pads and worn brake discs, alongside tyre wear on both the nearside and offside rear positions. The trend in the MOT history suggests a worsening condition concerning braking and tyre wear, as the issues that caused the previous failure have reappeared in the subsequent test. The mileage of 100,118 miles for a vehicle of this age is consistent with the expected annual mileage, suggesting a typical level of use rather than excessive hard use or long periods of standing. A buyer must inspect the braking system thoroughly, paying close attention to the rear brake pads and discs, and check the condition of the rear tyres, especially the nearside and offside rear tyres, for signs of uneven wear or excessive wear.
