2003 MERCEDES E3.2L PETROL

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent inspection in November 2025 with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears remarkably consistent over the last three years, as the record shows a pattern of immediate rectification following initial failures. The failures noted in November 2024 and November 2025 did not list specific defects, suggesting minor, easily remediable issues such as bulbs or minor sensor adjustments that were corrected prior to the successful re-tests. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 23-year-old Mercedes E-Class, averaging approximately 6,760 miles per year. Between the 2023 test at 145,372 miles and the 2025 test at 155,488 miles, the vehicle covered 10,116 miles. This indicates steady, moderate usage which is generally beneficial for older rubber components and seals compared to long periods of inactivity. The intervals between tests are regular, suggesting the owner has followed the standard annual testing schedule. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and subframes, as vehicles of this era are prone to hidden corrosion that may not always trigger an MOT failure until it becomes significant. Given the age and mileage, close inspection of suspension control arm bushes and coil springs for signs of tearing is necessary. While the MOT history is clean, the mechanical age warrants a check of the brake caliper seals and the thickness of the discs to ensure no excessive wear has developed beyond the basic test requirements.
