The Mercedes CLK270 CDI Avan'de A has an overall MOT pass rate of 70.2% across 530 real MOT tests — roughly in line with the UK average.
The most common problems on the Mercedes CLK270 CDI Avan'de A are coil spring fractured (2 recorded failures), suspension arm ball joint dust cover excessively deteriorated so that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (2), and suspension arm rubber bush deteriorated resulting in excessive movement both (2). These are the faults most likely to cause an MOT failure on this model, so check for them carefully on any test drive or pre-purchase inspection. Many are wear-and-tear items that can be budgeted for, but a car that's already failing on multiple fronts may signal neglected maintenance.
A typical Mercedes CLK270 CDI Avan'de A owner drives around 3,771 miles per year. If the car you're looking at is significantly above this, expect more wear on suspension, brakes and tyres. If it's well below, the vehicle may have been sitting unused — check for perished rubber, corroded discs and stale fluids.
Before committing to a purchase, we recommend running a full vehicle history check on the specific car. This will reveal any outstanding finance, stolen markers, write-off history and mileage discrepancies that the seller may not disclose — and that the MOT data alone can't tell you.
