1998 MERCEDES-BENZ 6006.0L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 8 October 2025 at 59,478 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to February 2022, suggesting the car is currently maintained to a high mechanical standard. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 28-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,124 miles per year. A notable increase in usage occurred between September 2024 and October 2025, where the odometer rose from 49,348 to 59,478 miles. This jump of over 10,000 miles in a single year contrasts with the period between February 2022 and September 2024, during which the vehicle covered only 3,301 miles. The absence of recorded defects across multiple years is unusual for a vehicle of this vintage. While the MOT record is clean, the low overall mileage and periods of inactivity increase the risk of perished rubber components. A physical inspection should focus on the condition of suspension bushes, engine mounts, and tyre sidewalls to check for age-related cracking. The buyer should also verify the integrity of the braking system. Low-use vehicles often suffer from binding calipers or internal corrosion of the brake discs. Given the lack of structural advisories in the DVSA data, a targeted check for chassis corrosion in known Mercedes-Benz areas is advised to ensure the lack of MOT failures reflects genuine condition rather than lenient testing.
