Highlights

Just 52,000 miles from new
MOT until April 2025
Original book pack, V5C and service history

The Appeal

Based upon the S-Class and intended as Mercedes-Benz’s flagship coupé, the CL was initially introduced on the W140 platform and continued following the launch of the W220. Luxuriously appointed and packed with the latest safety features including Active Body Control and Bi-Xenon headlamps, the C215 CL was exceedingly expensive in its day.

Whether you missed out the first time around, regret selling your CL or simply want something for those long motorway drives, here we have an excellent opportunity to acquire a CL500 with remarkably low mileage. With a mere 52,000 miles on the clock and up-to-date service history, this Mercedes is clearly a great example. It looks to be in very good condition for its age and comes with an MOT valid until April 2025.
