Our Verdict
A recommended purchase for those seeking
When reviewing this vehicle, prioritize the service history for the 2987cc diesel engine, specifically looking for evidence of transmission fluid changes and fuel filter replacements. Ensure that the service records align with the mileage increments seen in the MOT history.
As a large-capacity diesel, fuel economy will be moderate for its class, but the vehicle will fall into a higher road tax bracket. Insurance groups for the CLS are typically high, reflecting its luxury status and engine size.
Maintenance costs for Mercedes-Benz components and specialist labour are higher than average. Budget for premium parts, particularly for suspension and braking systems, as evidenced by the recent anti-roll bar linkage replacements.
Pay close attention to the front suspension and steering components; while the anti-roll bar linkage ball joints were replaced in June 2026, it is worth checking for any further wear in the surrounding bushings.
Reference the May 2024 MOT advisories and check if the front wheel bearings were replaced to resolve the 'slight play' noted. Additionally, inspect the inner edges of the rear tyres to ensure the alignment issues recorded in 2024 have been professionally corrected.
This silver 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLS has covered 98,735 miles, which aligns closely with the model's average annual usage. The MOT history is relatively clean, with a recent pass in June 2026 following the replacement of front anti-roll bar linkages. Previous advisories regarding wheel bearings and tyre wear in 2024 are typical for a vehicle of this age and weight.
The CLS maintains a respectable average MOT pass rate of 82.8%, with common failures typically linked to tyres and coil springs.
