2013 Mercedes-Benz CLS 2.1L Diesel · N5 PSE

The vehicle's MOT history shows a stable trend of passing annual inspections, though a failure occurred immediately prior to the most recent successful test. The record shows a failure on 9 September 2025, which was rectified to achieve a pass on 10 September 2025. Aside from this single failure event, the previous three consecutive tests on 10 September 2024, 12 September 2023, and 16 September 2022 all resulted in passes with no recorded defects or advisories. The recorded mileage of 63,933 miles is low for a 2013 model, averaging approximately 4,918 miles per year. This pattern suggests infrequent use over the thirteen-year lifespan of the vehicle. While the MOT records themselves do not provide specific mileage for each individual year, the current total indicates the car has not been subjected to high-frequency motorway or urban driving. Because the 2025 failure recorded no specific defects in the summary, the exact nature of the mechanical or structural issue that caused the initial non-compliance remains unverified by this data. A prospective buyer should investigate the cause of that failure during a physical inspection. Given the low annual mileage, particular attention should be paid to components that can degrade through inactivity, such as rubber suspension bushes, brake calipers potentially seizing due to lack of use, and tyre sidewall integrity. The absence of advisories regarding corrosion or brake wear in the recent years is a positive indicator in the data, but the low usage profile means checking for fluid leaks and battery health is advisable. The vehicle's current MOT status is valid, but the single failure in September 2025 warrants a direct query regarding the specific part or system that required repair. buying_score: 72 risk_level: Low.
