MERCEDES 2301992 · 2.3L PETROL

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness profile as evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 11 June 2025. At 142,677 miles, the pass with zero defects or advisories indicates a stable maintenance trend where the vehicle currently meets all regulatory standards. This clean sheet suggests no immediate mechanical failures were identified during the inspection period. The recorded mileage of 142,677 miles over a 34-year lifespan averages to approximately 4,200 miles per year. This low rate of use is significant and suggests the car has been used sparingly or stored for long periods, which often masks age-related degradation of rubber components rather than mechanical wear. The gap between the 2025 test and the current date shows the vehicle is well-up to date with its annual testing requirements. Despite the lack of recorded faults, a physical inspection must focus on components susceptible to low-mileage neglect and age. A buyer should scrutinise the structural integrity for corrosion, particularly in the sills, floor pans, and wheel arches, as moisture often settles in vehicles that sit infrequently. The condition of suspension bushes and brake lines is critical, as these may have perished over time regardless of low mileage. The engine should be checked for fluid leaks and seal degradation to ensure that the low usage interval has not led to dry seals or internal failure.
