2018 Mercedes-Benz CLS 2.9L Diesel · KL18 KUB

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable and consistent maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted in November 2025 at 76,623 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets all legal safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2022 and 2024, suggesting that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a professional standard without allowing minor issues to escalate into significant failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old luxury saloon, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per annum. Between October 2022 at 46,260 miles and November 2024 at 63,354 miles, the vehicle covered over 17,000 miles, showing a steady usage profile. The brief failure in October 2023 at 54,716 miles followed by a pass just eight days later at 54,785 miles indicates a minor mechanical issue that was rectified immediately rather than a sign of chronic mechanical neglect. Given the clean records in recent years, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on common wear items for a Mercedes of this age that MOT tests do not always capture. Inspect the condition of the suspension bushings and control arms for cracking, as these can degrade over time regardless of low mileage. While the record shows no recurring structural corrosion or brake issues, checking the brake discs for uneven wear and the exhaust system for leaks remains advisable to ensure no hidden surface rust has developed during periods of lower use.
