2013 Mercedes-Benz S-Class 3.0L Diesel · R25 BBS

This vehicle is in an exceptional state of roadworthiness with a highly stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 1 April 2026 at 92,519 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to March 2023, indicating a vehicle that is kept to a high mechanical standard. The mileage accumulation is consistent and typical for a luxury saloon of this vintage. Between March 2023 and April 2026, the odometer rose from 76,151 to 92,519 miles, averaging roughly 5,400 miles per year over the last three years. This steady usage suggests the car has avoided the risks associated with long periods of standing, such as seized brake calipers or perished rubber seals. The record shows a single failure on 20 March 2023 at 76,151 miles, though it passed the same day. The lack of any recorded advisories over the last four tests is rare for a thirteen year old vehicle. It suggests the previous owners proactively addressed wear items like brake discs, suspension bushes, and tyres before they became MOT failures. A physical inspection should focus on common S-Class age-related issues that MOT testers often overlook, specifically the operation of the air suspension system and any signs of corrosion on the underbody. While the DVSA record is clean, verifying the service history for transmission fluid changes and engine oil intervals will confirm if the mechanical care matches the MOT performance.
