2018 Mercedes-Benz CLS 2.9L Diesel · ES51 ENA

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 3 June 2025 at 37,371 miles, confirming it met the required roadworthiness standards at that time. The maintenance trend remains exceptionally stable, as the car has achieved four consecutive passes without any recorded advisories or failures since 2022. While the 28 May 2025 test resulted in a failure, the lack of specific defect data suggests a procedural issue or a minor administrative oversight rather than a mechanical fault, given the immediate rectification and subsequent pass just six days later. This Mercedes-Benz has covered 37,371 miles over eight years, averaging approximately 4,671 miles per annum. This low-mileage profile indicates light usage, though it also raises the possibility of the vehicle spending extended periods stationary. The consistent, low-volume accumulation of mileage between 2022 and 2025 suggests the car has been used sparingly rather than subjected to heavy commuter traffic or high-speed motorway cycles. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components prone to deterioration during periods of inactivity. Although the MOT history is clean, the age of the vehicle warrants a close examination of the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which often occurs when a vehicle sits for long durations. Inspect the suspension bushes and rubber gaiters for signs of perishing or cracking, as these components can degrade even when the vehicle is not in active service. Ensure the tyres show even wear patterns and check the underside for any signs of oxidation on the exhaust system or structural members, as the current record provides no visibility into these specific areas.
