2010 Mercedes-Benz S-Class 3.0L Diesel · NX10 AUT

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-11-26 at 131,840 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Previous tests from 2024 and 2023 also passed without issues, suggesting consistent upkeep. However, a duplicate entry for 2024-02-12 shows both a pass and a fail at the same mileage, which may reflect a data inconsistency. No structural or mechanical faults were recorded in valid tests, implying no immediate safety risks. The mileage of 131,840 miles over 16 years equates to approximately 8,240 annual miles, aligning with typical usage for the model. Gaps between MOTs range from eight to 13 months, which is standard. No rapid mileage spikes or prolonged inactivity periods are evident. The absence of recurring defects in valid tests suggests no systemic wear issues, though the car’s age necessitates scrutiny of high-mileage components. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, common in older Mercedes models, and check brake discs for uneven wear. Electrical systems, including the ECU and sensors, may require testing due to the vehicle’s age. Despite the MOT record’s cleanliness, a pre-purchase inspection is advisable to confirm the absence of hidden corrosion or intermittent faults not flagged in the tests.
