Mercedes-Benz CLE-Class MOT reliability

There were not enough MOT tests of Mercedes-Benz CLE-Classes in 2025 to publish reliable figures: we need at least 1,000 tests of cars aged three and over. Cars have their first MOT at three years old, so newer models appear once they reach that age. How we work out MOT figures.

Mercedes-Benz CLE-Class engine sizes and fuel types

Of the 3,025 Mercedes-Benz CLE-Classes licensed in the UK at the end of 2025, 95.0% have an engine of 1,901cc to 2,000cc, and 5.0% have an engine of 2,901cc to 3,000cc. Hybrids made up 88.0% of those licensed in 2024 and 82.8% in 2025.

United Kingdom figures from DfT table VEH0220 (licensed cars at the end of each year, SORN excluded), so they differ slightly from the Great Britain counts elsewhere on this page. How we use engine sizes.

Mercedes-Benz CLE-Class fuel economy and CO2

The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Mercedes-Benz CLE-Class from 2023, and still lists it. On the WLTP test (listings 2023 to 2026), official combined fuel economy for its diesel, petrol hybrid and diesel hybrid versions ranges from 28.8 to 60.1 mpg, with CO2 of 122 to 222 g/km; plug-in hybrid versions are rated at 113.0 to 565.0 mpg (weighted).

• Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
• Plug-in hybrid figures are VCA’s weighted values, which count driving on battery power as well as on fuel.
• Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was listed. Matched from VCA’s model names “CLE Coupe Model Year 2026”, “CLE Cabriolet Model Year 2026”, “CLE Coupe Model Year 2025”, “CLE Coupe Model Year 2027”. How we use VCA’s figures.

All 3 Mercedes-Benz CLE-Class recalls, with defects, remedies and build dates

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Mercedes-Benz CLE-Class. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a dealer. How we match recalls to models.
