2019 Mercedes-Benz X 3.0L Diesel · M888 JWR

The most recent MOT test on 2025-10-29 confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy at 69,840 miles, with no defects recorded across the last three consecutive tests. This suggests a stable maintenance history over the past two years, though the duplicate entry for 2024-11-21—where the vehicle passed before being retested—indicates a minor administrative oversight rather than a mechanical issue. No recurring advisories or defects appear in the record, which is unusual for a vehicle of this age, as suspension bushes, brake calipers, and exhaust systems typically show wear by 70,000 miles. The absence of any advisories implies either diligent servicing or that critical components have been replaced privately without MOT reporting. The mileage progression of roughly 9,977 miles per year aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age, with no abrupt jumps or prolonged stagnation. The gap between tests remains consistent at one year, and the recorded mileage increments (e.g., 7,386 miles between 2023 and 2024, 7,456 miles between 2024 and 2025) show no irregular acceleration or deceleration. While this pattern suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly rather than stored, it also means consumable items like brake pads, tyres, and suspension components may require closer inspection, as they typically degrade predictably over this mileage range. A buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The lack of advisories in recent tests does not preclude internal wear—binding calipers or corroded brake hardware could have been missed if not visibly obvious during the MOT. Exhaust emissions should also be verified, as catalytic converters and oxygen sensors often fail silently after 70,000 miles. Structural integrity, including underbody corrosion around the sills and wheel arches, warrants scrutiny, as does the condition of the brake discs for uneven wear or glazing, which could indicate past neglect. While the MOT record is clean, these areas are statistically high-risk for this model and mileage.
