2016 MERCEDES-BENZ S-Class4.7L PETROL

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a perfectly stable maintenance trend across the documented history. The most recent test on 27 August 2025 at 29,510 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories. This consistent clean sheet dates back to 2021, indicating that the primary mechanical and structural components have remained within tolerance limits without triggering any failures during annual inspections. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old S Class, averaging approximately 2,951 miles per year. Between August 2021 at 23,569 miles and August 2025 at 29,510 miles, the car covered only 5,941 miles. While this low usage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between tests indicate the vehicle likely sat for extended periods. Such patterns often lead to the aging of rubber-based components which degrade due to time rather than mileage alone. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should focus on physical checks related to low-mileage storage rather than mechanical failure. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as way use can cause calipers to seize or rotors to rust unevenly. Examine the suspension bushes and tyre boots for cracking or dry rot, as these materials lose elasticity over a decade irrespective of distance travelled. Additionally, verify the age of the tyres, as tread depth may be sufficient while the compound has hardened from age.
