2010 Mercedes-Benz CLS 3.0L Diesel · SL60 MTX

The 2010 Mercedes-Benz CLS presents a stable roadworthiness status with no recorded defects across its five most recent MOT tests. The April 2025 test at 172,790 miles passed cleanly with no advisories, continuing an unbroken pass trend since at least 2021. The maintenance record shows no worsening faults and no recurring mechanical issues requiring correction. Annual mileage sits at roughly 10,800 miles per year against the vehicle's 16-year life, a typical use pattern for this age of executive saloon. The records show 143,205 miles in March 2021 rising to 172,790 by April 2025, an accumulation of 29,585 miles over four years. The largest single-year jump came between the March 2022 test at 148,374 miles and the March 2023 test at 162,715 miles, adding 14,341 miles. No standing gaps or dormant periods appear in the data. A clean MOT history with zero advisories means the tester raised no concerns on brake discs, suspension bushes, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion at each interval. The buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the underside for corrosion and check the condition of consumable items such as tyres and wiper blades, as these fall outside the scope of a pass with no defects noted. Given the high overall mileage of 172,790, wear on drivetrain components and suspension geometry is likely present despite the absence of flagged faults. A pre-purchase mechanical assessment of the automatic transmission and steering linkages remains prudent before completion of sale.
