2018 MERCEDES-BENZ S-Class3.0L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 26 February 2026 at 27,080 miles where it passed with no recorded defects. This follows a clean result from the February 2025 test at 22,252 miles. The absence of advisories or failures suggests that the vehicle has maintained a high mechanical standard throughout its inspection history. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,385 miles per year. Between February 2025 and February 2026, the car covered only 4,828 miles. This consistent low usage indicates the vehicle was likely used for short trips or stored for extended periods. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, long stationary periods can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts or fluidrelated issues. Given the clean MOT history, a physical inspection should focus on signs of age associated with low-mileage stationary vehicles. Inspect the brake discs for surface pitting or corrosion, which often occurs when a car sits without frequent braking use. The suspension bushings and rubber seals should be checked for dry rot or cracking, as these materials perish over time regardless of distance driven. Additionally, verify that the tyres have sufficient manufacture dates, as aged rubber can compromise grip even if the tread remains deep.
