2009 Mercedes-Benz E 3.0L Diesel · D24 PDH

The vehicle presents a currently roadworthy status following a pass on 7 November 2025 at 154,517 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows an odd pattern of immediate pre-test failures on 5 November 2025 and 5 November 2024, both at near-identical mileages and with no defects logged. This suggests administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical deterioration, as the car passed cleanly two days later on each occasion. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,089 miles across the 17-year life, a typical figure for a 2009 Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Between the 23 October 2023 test at 142,063 miles and the 8 November 2024 pass at 147,717 miles the car covered 5,654 miles. From November 2024 to November 2025 it added 6,800 miles. The accumulation is steady with no abrupt jumps or long dormant periods, and the sparse clean record gives little cause for concern over neglected consumables. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and mileage, as MOT passes with no advisories do not confirm component life remaining. The repeated no-defect failures without stated reason warrant a check of the DVSA failure categorisation to rule out overlooked corrosion or emissions faults logged in error. Verify the vehicle's service history against the 154,517-mile odometer and confirm the 2025 failure was clerical rather than a withdrawn test after a genuine fault. Structural integrity and exhaust condition should be physically examined, as the MOT data alone offers no visibility of underlying wear.
