2009 Mercedes-Benz CLK 2.1L Diesel · WF09 OEA

The 2009 Mercedes-Benz CLK presents a stable roadworthiness status as of the most recent test on 10 February 2025, where it passed at 102,399 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is steady and free of escalating faults. Prior to that, the vehicle passed again on 13 May 2024 at 102,400 miles with a clean sheet, following a failed attempt on 2 May 2024 at 102,388 miles that listed no defects. That earlier failure with zero recorded defects points to an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a worn component, and the owner corrected it within eleven days. The mileage pattern sits at roughly 6,023 miles per year across its seventeen-year life, which is typical for the age. The records show almost no accumulation between early May 2024 and February 2025, with only eleven miles added across that nine-month span. Such low movement suggests the car spent long periods stationary or was a secondary vehicle. The sparse history gives little insight into consumable turnover, though the absence of advisories on either pass indicates tyres, brake discs, and suspension bushes were within tolerance at test time. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the MOT entries never flagged these and a 2009 chassis can hide rust in sills or subframes. The near-dormant mileage means brake calipers may have seized through inactivity, and flat spots could sit on the tyres. Verify the May 2024 failure paperwork to confirm it was clerical rather than a concealed fault. Given the clean recent tests and ordinary mileage, the CLK shows no worsening mechanical trend. Treat it as a low-use example needing confirmation that standing time has not degraded flexible components or the exhaust system.
