2016 Mercedes-Benz CLS 2.1L Diesel · GL66 OFD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing tests over several years. The most recent inspection conducted in January 2025 at 102,391 miles passed without any mechanical failures, although a restriction was noted regarding a rear child seat preventing a full inspection of the adult seat belt. This suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a functional standard, as no recurring mechanical or structural defects have appeared across the recorded history. The mileage pattern indicates typical usage for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. There is a significant discrepancy in the recorded data between January 2023 at 139,448 miles and December 2023 at 90,150 miles, which suggests either a clerical data entry error or an odometer rollback that requires verification. Aside from this anomaly, the progression from 117,137 miles in 2021 to 130,816 miles in 2022 shows a steady rate of use consistent with the overall profile. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension components and braking system, given the high-mileage nature of the CLS. While the 2022 test flagged a minor nearside front tyre damage issue, the lack of previous advisories regarding suspension bushes or coil springs suggests the chassis has remained in relatively good condition. However, with the vehicle exceeding 100,000 miles, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the exhaust system and the condition of the brake calipers and rotors is necessary to ensure no hidden wear is developing.
