The real detail is in the individual vehicle report — MOT history, AI Hunches, mileage timeline, and defect patterns for that specific reg.
This 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS250 CDI is deeply unreliable: a first-time pass rate of just 1.3% is catastrophic compared to the UK average of 80%, meaning virtually every example will need defect rectification before passing MOT. The absence of dangerous defects on record (0%) offers no comfort—the sheer failure rate itself is the critical issue here.
At around 94,500 miles median, these cars are relatively high-mileage for their age, yet they're still accumulating serious faults (0.01 failures per vehicle on average suggests most fail on critical items rather than minor niggles). If you're considering this model, treat it as a project buy only: budget heavily for pre-purchase inspection by a Mercedes specialist and expect substantial remedial work before it will ever pass an MOT.
We have 1,081 2012 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
