2010 Mercedes-Benz CLS 3.0L Diesel · KM10 EFB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted on 24 April 2025 at 128,075 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets all safety and emissions standards. This follows a period of clean passes since late 2021, suggesting that the current owner is addressing necessary requirements to keep the vehicle on the road. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a sixteen-year-old luxury saloon, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per annum. The record shows steady progression, moving from 88,549 miles in December 2021 to 128,075 miles by April 2025. While there was a brief gap between the November 2021 failure and the December 2021 pass, the subsequent intervals show regular use rather than long periods of stationary storage. The vehicle history avoids extreme mileage accumulation, which is generally beneficial for the rubber components and seals that often suffer on Mercedes vehicles of this age. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components common to this age and mileage that may degrade despite a clean MOT record. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is essential, as these often wear out before they trigger an MOT failure point. The buyer should also inspect for surface corrosion on the underbody and exhaust system, as the MOT only flags structural rust once it reaches a critical threshold. Since the recent tests showed no advisories, verifying the condition of the brake discs and the absence of binding calipers will confirm if the mechanical health matches the clean paperwork.
