2010 Mercedes-Benz CLS 3.0L Diesel · YY10 GFJ

The vehicle's recent MOT history shows an inconsistent pattern of compliance. While the most recent test on 27 August 2024 resulted in a pass with no defects, this followed a failure on 19 August 2024. The record shows two failures within a three-year period, specifically in June 2022 and August 2024, suggesting intermittent issues with meeting minimum roadworthiness standards. The trend does not indicate a steady trajectory of improvement or decline, but rather a sporadic ability to pass without intervention. The recorded mileage of 101,054 miles is consistent with the vehicle's 2010 manufacture date, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. This level of usage is typical for a vehicle of this age. The MOT data provides a snapshot of compliance over the last few years, though the lack of specific defect descriptions in the failure entries on 30 June 2022 and 19 August 2024 makes it impossible to pinpoint the exact mechanical causes of those failures. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the vehicle's underside and running gear. Because the specific causes of the 2022 and 2024 failures are not documented in the provided text, attention must be paid to common wear items such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs. Given the age of the vehicle, checking for structural corrosion on the chassis and exhaust system is necessary. The absence of advisories in the 2024 pass suggests that consumables were within legal limits at that specific time, but a manual check of tyre tread, brake pad thickness, and wiper blade condition remains essential. buying_score: 55 risk_level: Medium.
