2016 Mercedes-Benz S-Class 6.0L Petrol · AO65 AAA

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its most recent MOT on 2024-11-28 at 63,111 miles, which recorded no defects. The prior test in 2023-11-30 at 56,542 miles also showed no issues, confirming a consistent maintenance pattern over the past 18 months. No recurring mechanical or structural faults were flagged, suggesting the car has been well-maintained within this period. However, the gap between tests exceeds the standard 12-month interval, which may indicate reduced usage or infrequent servicing. The mileage of 63,111 miles aligns with an average annual usage of 6,311 miles over the vehicle’s 10-year lifespan. The 6,569-mile increase between the 2023 and 2024 MOTs occurred over 12 months, reflecting steady, predictable wear. No anomalies in mileage accumulation were observed, and the absence of defects in both tests suggests no urgent mechanical concerns. The record is clean, with no advisories or failures, which is uncommon for a vehicle of this age but not impossible given the low mileage. A buyer should conduct a detailed inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear coil springs and bushings, as these components often degrade over time without triggering MOT failures. The brake discs and calipers should also be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as these can develop gradually. Additionally, the exhaust system’s integrity and underbody corrosion, especially around the chassis rails, warrant scrutiny. While the MOT history is reassuring, these elements are critical for long-term reliability and should be verified by a qualified technician.
