MERCEDES-BENZ E2010 · 5.5L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, as evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent June 2026 test at 56,531 miles. This recent result follows a period of consistent performance over the last four years, where the vehicle repeatedly passed inspections without recorded defects. The overall maintenance trend suggests the car has been maintained to a standard that prevents the accumulation of significant mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 16-year-old Mercedes, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per year. Between May 2022 at 41,613 miles and June 2026 at 56,531 miles, the car covered 14,918 miles, indicating consistent but infrequent usage. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the risk of rubber-based components perishing or fluid degradation due to inactivity rather than mechanical friction. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the braking system, as the May 2024 test at 49,147 miles flagged worn front brake discs. Although this was not a failure, it marks the beginning of a service interval for consumables. Given the low annual mileage and age of the vehicle, it is vital to inspect the brake calipers for seizing and to check for cracks in the suspension bushings, which often perish over time regardless of distance driven. The structural integrity of the chassis should also be verified for corrosion to ensure that the low use has not resulted in hidden rust in areas the MOT tester may not have yet flagged.
