2013 Mercedes-Benz S-Class 3.0L Diesel · DK 6666

The vehicle currently carries a failed MOT status from the 13 February 2025 test at 21,875 miles, though the failure recorded no specific defects, which points to an administrative or unlogged fault rather than a clear mechanical breakdown. Prior to that, the car passed every annual test from January 2021 through January 2024 with no defects listed, so the underlying maintenance trend reads as stable across four consecutive years before the recent anomaly. The odometer shows remarkably low use for a 2013 S-Class. In the January 2021 test the car sat at 19,449 miles; by January 2024 it reached 20,987 miles, meaning only 1,538 miles accumulated across three years. The jump to 21,875 miles by February 2025 adds under 900 miles, confirming a long-term pattern of around 1,680 miles per year. Such sparse running over thirteen years suggests prolonged standing periods rather than active wear, and the clean record gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural corrosion points and suspension bushes, as low-mileage cars left idle often develop perished rubber and underbody rust unseen in a pass-only history. The brake discs and calipers warrant physical checks for binding or pitting after years of minimal use. The February 2025 failure with no listed defect demands clarification from DVSA records before purchase, since the reason remains undocumented.
