2014 Mercedes-Benz CLS 3.0L Diesel · WD63 YLH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass in April 2026 at 70,439 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a clear decline regarding consumable upkeep. While the car passed the test, the tester flagged all four tyres as being close to the legal limit and showing signs of edge wear. This suggests a lack of proactive replacement or potentially an alignment issue that has gone unaddressed compared to the clean record seen in April 2022. At twelve years of age, the recorded mileage of 70,439 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 5,870 miles per year. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with a gap of 9,697 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 5,160 miles between 2024 and 2026. This low annual mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it increases the risk of rubber-based components degrading due to age, evidenced by the 2023 advisory regarding perishing tyre on the nearside front. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and interior components following the historical faults. The fractured offside rear coil spring recorded in 2022 indicates the suspension components may be prone to fatigue, so all springs should be checked for hairline cracks or corrosion. Additionally, the recurring issues with the nearside rear seat belt webbing between 2023 and 2024 indicate a persistent interior defect that requires verification to ensure it meets safety standards. Given the recent advisory on all four tyres, a professional alignment check is also necessary to ensure the edge wear is not caused by incorrect geometry settings.
