2007 Mercedes CLS 3.0L Diesel · SD07 OBP

The vehicle's MOT history indicates a stable roadworthiness trend following a failure in early 2025. The most recent test on 22 January 2026 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. This follows a successful retest on 17 January 2025, which rectified the issues identified during the failure on 14 January 2025. While the record shows no ongoing advisories, the single failure in the recent history suggests a momentary lapse in component compliance that was subsequently addressed. The recorded mileage of 91,005 miles for a 2007 model represents a low annual average of approximately 4,790 miles. The MOT data shows a consistent testing pattern from late 2022 through to early 2026, though the intervals between tests vary. The gap between the December 2022 test and the January 2024 test suggests a period where the vehicle may have been off the road or tested outside the standard annual cycle. The low mileage profile often correlates with less wear on drivetrain components, but can also lead to issues related to rubber perishability or fluid degradation from infrequent use. A physical inspection should focus on components that typically degrade during periods of low usage. Although no defects were recorded in the 2026 test, a buyer should examine the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for signs of corrosion or seized calipers. Given the age of the vehicle, checking the structural integrity for underside rust and inspecting all rubber seals and hoses for cracking is advisable. The lack of recent advisories is a positive indicator of current compliance, but it does not replace a thorough mechanical check of the braking system and steering geometry. buying_score: 72 risk_level: Low.
