2011 Mercedes-Benz R-Class 3.5L Diesel · NA03 ALL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent inspection on March 20 2026 at 120,405 miles. Following a single failure in April 2024, the car has undergone two consecutive tests without any recorded defects or advisories. This trend suggests that any mechanical issues identified two years ago were rectified and that the vehicle has maintained a consistent standard of operation since. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a fifteen-year-old luxury vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Between April 2023 and March 2026, the vehicle covered 17,634 miles, showing a steady accumulation of roughly 5,000 to 6,000 miles annually. There are no significant gaps in the testing history during these years. This regular use indicates the car is likely driven rather than left for long periods, which helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and brake seal corrosion often seen in stationary vehicles. While the record is currently clear of advisories, a buyer must focus their physical inspection on the heavy-duty components inherent to the R-Class. Given the age and mileage, the air suspension system and control arm bushings should be checked for signs of leaking or sagging, as these are common failure points that do not always trigger an MOT failure until they become critical. The buyer should also inspect the structural integrity of the chassis for corrosion and verify the condition of brake discs for thinning or uneven wear to ensure the clean MOT history reflects the current mechanical state.
