MERCEDES-BENZ S-Class2019 · 4.0L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in February 2026 at 45,524 miles showed a pass despite advisories for both offside and nearside rear tyres being worn to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This continues a pattern seen in previous years where components are only addressed once they approach failure thresholds, rather than being replaced during scheduled servicing. The mileage progression is consistent with a low-use luxury vehicle profile, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between February 2022 at 14,660 miles and March 2023 at 25,172 miles, where the car covered over 10,000 miles in a single year. Since then, the annual usage has stabilized at roughly 7,000 to 7,500 miles. This low mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain but can lead to degradation of rubber components and seals if the vehicle sat for extended periods. A buyer must specifically inspect the suspension geometry and alignment, as the recurring advisories for uneven tyre wear in 2023, 2025, and 2026 suggest potential issues with worn bushes, control arms, or incorrect camber. The report of thin rear brake pads in 2023 indicates that the braking system is monitored only intermittently, necessitating a thorough check of the calipers for binding or uneven wear. Given the age of the S-Class, a physical inspection should also focus on fluid leaks from the air suspension system and ensure that the low mileage has not resulted in dry-rot-related failures of critical components.
