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

The 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLS presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed the most recent MOT on 5 November 2025 at 102,878 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the supplied history reads as stable, with the vehicle clearing every annual test once minor re-tests were completed. No advisories or mechanical faults appear in any entry, which suggests the car has not required flagged repair work within the last three cycles. Recorded mileage sits at 102,878 miles against nineteen years of age, an average of roughly 5,415 miles per year and low for the model's class. The tester logged 89,513 miles on 19 October 2023, then 97,387 miles by 22 October 2024, and 102,878 miles by November 2025. That equates to about 8,000 miles in the first interval and 5,500 in the second, showing light and fairly consistent use rather than sustained standing or rapid accumulation. The clean record across these dates gives little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred servicing. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and Mercedes air-suspension complexity on the CLS platform. The 15 October 2024 and 18 October 2023 failures list no defects, implying administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection, yet the pattern of failing and passing within days twice warrants confirmation that no latent fault was simply cleared without rectification. Structural corrosion and exhaust emissions remain unseen in the data but are prudent checks on a 2007 bodyshell. The low mileage may mask perished seals or intermittent binding calipers from limited movement. Verify service history against the odometer to confirm the recorded care matches the sparse but clean MOT trail.
