2008 Mercedes-Benz CLS 3.0L Diesel · IBZ 303

The 2008 Mercedes-Benz CLS presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 December 2025 at 130,256 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results across the available history. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults in the supplied record. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for an eighteen-year-old car, averaging roughly 7,236 miles per year against the 130,256 miles recorded. The test on 3 December 2025 at 130,256 miles followed the 22 October 2024 pass at 122,794 miles, giving about 7,462 miles in that interval. Earlier gaps are tight: 28 October 2023 at 116,283 miles, then 3 November 2022 at 110,525 miles. A failed test on 1 November 2022 at 110,508 miles preceded the pass two days later, with no defects listed on either entry, suggesting an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a worn component. The clean MOT sequence gives no flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion issues to chase. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition, as eighteen-year-old Mercedes models commonly develop chassis rust unseen by MOT testers until advanced. Verify the 2022 failure cause in person despite the absent defect text. Given the sparse but clean record, previous owners appear to have kept basic upkeep current rather than deferring consumables. The low annual use implies long standing periods are possible, so check for perished rubber, flat-spotted tyres, and stale fluid during any viewing.
