Our Verdict

Proceed with caution. While the mileage is reasonable for its age, the recent MOT history suggests a pattern of neglecting basic wear-and-tear items until the point of failure.

Prioritise a full service history check to see if the 3.0L diesel engine has been maintained according to Mercedes-Benz schedules. Given the recurring issues with wheel bearings and track rod ends, you should negotiate a price reduction to cover the immediate replacement of these components if they haven't been addressed since the November 2025 MOT.

Check for evidence of recent investment in the chassis and suspension. The 2023 failure included significant tyre damage and exhaust corrosion, so ensure the current exhaust system is secure and free from leaks. A professional pre-purchase inspection is strongly recommended to ensure the 'undertrays' mentioned in the 2022 MOT aren't hiding deeper corrosion.
