Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

A pattern of consistent roadworthiness is evident in the recent MOT history, despite a single failure recorded on 05 May 2025 that was rectified prior to the subsequent pass on 08 May 2025. The vehicle has maintained a clean record across its most recent testing cycle, with no defects or advisories noted in the 2024 or 2023 tests. This indicates a stable regulatory history where the mechanical components subject to MOT inspection have met the required standards without recurring issues such as corrosion, fluid leaks, or suspension wear being formally flagged. The vehicle exhibits an unusually low mileage profile for its age, having covered only 27,453 miles over approximately seven years. This equates to an average annual accumulation of roughly 3,922 miles, which is significantly below the typical UK average for a premium diesel saloon of this class. While low mileage generally implies less wear on high-use components like the drivetrain and braking system, such infrequent usage can sometimes lead to secondary mechanical concerns. For a vehicle with this specific usage pattern, the lack of regular high-speed or long-distance running can occasionally result in less frequent exercise of engine components and seals. Given the absence of specific advisories in the DVSA records, there are no documented issues regarding brake pipe corrosion, subframe integrity, or suspension bush degradation to target. However, because the mileage is low and the vehicle has likely spent significant periods stationary, a prospective buyer should pay close attention to the condition of rubber components and fluid health. During a test drive, listen for any irregular knocks or clunks from the suspension linkages or coil springs that might indicate perished bushes, and check for any hesitation in the engine's response or unusual vibrations that could stem from long periods of inactivity. Specific attention should also be directed toward the braking system and tyre condition. Although no defects were recorded, the low annual mileage means the tyres may have more tread depth than expected but could be subject to age-related hardening. Check for any pedal judder or pulling under braking to ensure the discs and calipers have not suffered from surface corrosion due to infrequent use. Ensuring that the vehicle's fluids have been changed according to time intervals rather than just mileage is a critical factor for a vehicle with this specific usage profile.

Our Verdict

This Mercedes-Benz CLS 350d is a compell

When inspecting this CLS, prioritise a thorough test drive to ensure the 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system and the 9G-TRONIC automatic gearbox operate smoothly without hesitation or unusual noises. Given the 'Premium Plus' trim level, verify that all electronic features—including the panoramic sunroof, Burmester audio system, and MBUX infotainment screen—are fully functional, as these can be costly to repair outside of a warranty.

Check the service history documentation to ensure the engine has been serviced in line with Mercedes-Benz intervals, particularly regarding the oil and filter changes required for the 2,925cc diesel engine. Negotiate based on the fact that while the MOT record is currently clear, the car is approaching the age where wear-and-tear items like suspension bushings and brake components may require attention.

As a 2.9-litre diesel, this vehicle offers a balance of performance and efficiency, though it falls into higher tax brackets compared to smaller-engined cars. You should budget for premium-rated tyres and higher-than-average insurance premiums due to the vehicle's market value and performance classification.

Maintenance costs for a Mercedes-Benz of this calibre are significant. Aside from annual road tax and insurance, you should set aside funds for specialist servicing and potential component replacement. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, insurance, tax, and routine maintenance, are approximately £2,200–£2,800 depending on your annual mileage and driving style.

Although the MOT history is largely clear, do not overlook a physical inspection of the alloy wheels, which are prone to kerbing on the AMG Line specification. Check the tyres for even wear across the tread, as the 4MATIC system can be sensitive to mismatched tyre brands or uneven tread depths.

Since the vehicle failed its MOT on 2025-05-05 before passing on 2025-05-08, request the documentation for that specific test to understand why it was initially rejected. Ensure all exterior lighting, including the complex Multibeam LED headlamps, are free of condensation and fully operational, as these are expensive units to replace.

Registered in March 2019, this black CLS 350d AMG Line Premium Plus has covered just 27,453 miles. Its MOT history is largely clean, with three successful passes and one brief, unexplained failure in May 2025 that was rectified within three days. Compared to the model average of 12,833 miles per year, this vehicle has seen significantly lighter usage.

The CLS model shows an aggregate MOT pass rate of 88.0%, suggesting generally standard reliability for this class of executive vehicle.
