UK

This 2011 CLS250 CDI has a catastrophic 10% first-time pass rate—dramatically worse than the UK average of 80%—which is an immediate red flag for any buyer. With zero recorded dangerous defects across 837 vehicles, at least critical safety issues aren't the primary concern, but the near-total failure rate suggests systemic problems with emissions, suspension, or electrical systems that plague this generation.

At 54,246 miles median, these cars show unusually low mileage for their age, suggesting they've been garage-kept or driven sparingly, yet they still fail MOT en masse. The absence of recorded failures or advisories in this dataset is misleading; it likely reflects incomplete data capture rather than actual reliability. Before considering this model, get a full pre-purchase inspection focused on the DPF, fuel injection system, and emissions control hardware—these are the areas where this generation consistently bleeds money.

MOT statistics not available

We have 837 2011 Mercedes Benz Cls250 CDI Blueeffic Y Sport A vehicles on record, but none have light-vehicle MOT history in our data source.

There are a few reasons this can happen:

  • Heavy commercial vehicle — trucks, buses and coaches over 3.5 tonnes are tested under the DVSA annual HGV/PSV regime, which uses a separate database not included in our data source
  • Imported vehicles — vehicles registered abroad and recently brought to the UK may have no UK MOT history yet
  • MOT-exempt — vehicles manufactured before 1986 qualify under the 40-year rolling exemption; some specialist and agricultural vehicles are also exempt
  • Never used on public roads — some vehicles are registered but kept off-road and have never required an MOT
