2016 MERCEDES-BENZ S-Class3.0L Diesel

The 2016 Mercedes-Benz S-Class presents a stable and highly consistent maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 18 September 2025 at 54,563 miles. The vehicle has passed five consecutive MOT tests without a single defect recorded, indicating meticulous upkeep and a lack of ongoing mechanical deterioration. This unblemished record suggests the previous owner addressed any wear items promptly, leaving the car in a sound operational state at its most recent inspection. The annual mileage accumulation is notably low for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 5,456 miles per year. Between the September 2021 test at 37,064 miles and the September 2024 test at 50,892 miles, the car covered roughly 13,800 miles over three years, before travelling just 3,671 miles in the twelve months leading to the September 2025 test. This tapering mileage profile points to a shift toward very light, local use or extended periods of inactivity in recent years. Despite the flawless MOT record, the low and declining mileage warrants a focused physical inspection of components susceptible to perishing during prolonged static periods. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the tyres for sidewall cracking and flat spots, as low-mileage vehicles often require replacement due to age rather than tread wear. The suspension bushes and rubber mounts on this S-Class deserve scrutiny, as extended standing can cause the rubber to harden and crack, compromising ride quality. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion and verify the exhaust system for any moisture-induced corrosion, both common ailments of a luxury saloon that spends significant time stationary.
