2016 Mercedes-Benz CLS 2.1L Diesel · LR66 UGE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a highly consistent maintenance trend. The most recent test on October 2, 2025 at 91,790 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, despite an initial failure on the same day. This suggests a specific issue was identified and rectified immediately prior to the retest. Since 2022, the car has avoided major mechanical structural failures across multiple consecutive annual inspections. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,200 miles per year. Between January 2022 at 50,567 miles and October 2024 at 77,642 miles, the car covered over 27,000 miles, indicating steady use. The subsequent interval of 14,148 miles between October 2024 and October 2025 maintains this regularity. This pattern suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which helps prevent the degradation of seals and components often associated with long periods of standing. While the MOT record is clean of recurring advisories, a buyer should perform a physical inspection focusing on common wear points for a Mercedes-Benz of this age and mileage. Given the mileage, inspect the control arm bushes and suspension components for signs of tearing, as these often degrade around 90,000 miles. Check the brake discs for uneven wear, as the record does not explicitly flag binding calipers or thinning pads. Additionally, examine the underside for any early signs of corrosion to ensure the structural integrity remains sound as the vehicle enters its second decade of service.
