2010 MERCEDES-BENZ E3.0L Diesel

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a consistently clean maintenance record. The most recent inspection conducted on 6 August 2025 at 100,671 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets all legal safety standards. This clean sweep across the last four years suggests a proactive approach to maintenance where issues are likely addressed before they escalate into test failures. The mileage pattern remains consistent with the vehicle's 16-year age, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per annum. Between April 2022 and April 2024, the car covered 6,371 miles, showing steady and predictable usage. The interval between the April 2024 test and the August 2025 test shows 1,067 miles covered over sixteen months, which aligns with the established trend. This low annual mileage typically reduces the wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and suspension components compared to high-mileage examples. While the MOT history is devoid of recorded faults, a physical inspection should focus on components prone to age-related degradation regardless of mileage. A buyer should specifically check the structural integrity of the chassis for corrosion, particularly in the sills and wheel arches, where moisture can trap over decades. Given the vehicle's age, rubber suspension bushes and coil springs should be inspected for cracking or perishing. Checking the condition of the brake discs and the brake fluid age is also necessary to ensure that the braking system has not developed internal corrosion during periods of lower usage.
