2011 Mercedes-Benz CLS 3.0L Diesel · FV61 AMX

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent 2025-06-16 MOT at 172,190 miles recording no defects. All prior tests from 2021 to 2024 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. No recurring mechanical or structural faults are evident in the record, and the absence of advisories suggests the car has been well-maintained within the observed timeframe. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging 11,479 miles annually. Tests conducted every 12 months between 2021 and 2025 show no irregularities in wear patterns, with no significant gaps in testing. The steady accumulation of 17,604 miles between 2021 and 2025 reflects regular operation rather than prolonged inactivity. This consistency reduces concerns about hidden deterioration from neglect. While the MOT history lacks specific mechanical findings, a buyer should verify the condition of high-mileage components such as suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust systems. The absence of corrosion reports is positive, but a physical inspection is recommended to confirm structural integrity and check for wear in areas not flagged during MOTs. The vehicle’s maintenance record does not indicate systemic issues, but thorough scrutiny of its drivetrain and electrical systems is advised given its age.
