2010 Mercedes-Benz CL500

Highlights

• Refined pillarless grand touring coupé, powered by a naturally aspirated 5.5-litre V8
• Generous specification, including heated and ventilated front seats
• Last serviced in June 2025 by Mercedes-Benz Norwich
• Clean MOT valid until April 2027
• ULEZ-compliant

The Appeal

Mercedes-Benz has long excelled at the large, pillarless grand touring coupé, and the CL-Class is one of the clearest expressions of that tradition. Based on the contemporary S-Class, it combined flagship-level engineering and equipment with sleeker two-door bodywork, offering a more elegant and indulgent alternative to the luxury saloon.

The CL500 sat at the heart of the range, pairing the C216’s refined grand touring character with a naturally aspirated 5.5-litre V8 engine. Smooth, powerful and well suited to the car’s long-distance brief, it gave the CL500 effortless performance without straying into the more overtly sporting territory of the AMG variants. This 2010 example also dates from the later period of naturally aspirated production, before Mercedes-Benz moved to the smaller twin-turbocharged V8 used in subsequent CL500 models.

Finished in a stylish colour scheme and serviced last year, this CL500 is further supported by an MOT valid until April 2027 following a clean pass. Spacious, refined and notably well-equipped, it should appeal to a marque enthusiast seeking a highly capable modern Mercedes-Benz grand tourer with understated presence and strong long-distance ability.
