2016 Mercedes-Benz S-Class 3.0L Diesel · WA16 AEG

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-05-09 at 46,657 miles recorded a PASS with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Previous tests from 2024-05-09 and 2023-04-25 also showed PASS results, though an apparent duplicate entry for 2024-05-09 lists both PASSED and FAILED outcomes with identical mileage, which may reflect a data inconsistency. No structural, braking, or emissions issues were flagged in the valid tests, suggesting the car has been maintained to acceptable standards. The vehicle’s mileage of 46,657 miles at 10 years old equates to approximately 4,666 miles annually, significantly lower than average for its age. This suggests either light usage or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate corrosion, fluid degradation, or component stiffness. The MOT intervals align with standard annual testing, but the lack of recorded defects over four years implies consistent upkeep. However, the low mileage raises concerns about potential hidden issues from extended standing, such as degraded suspension bushes or brake disc corrosion. A buyer should inspect the underbody for rust, particularly around the chassis and exhaust system, given the low mileage and potential for moisture ingress during inactivity. Check brake components for uneven wear or corrosion, as infrequent use can lead to binding calipers or glazed discs. Suspension elements, including coil springs and bushings, should be examined for stiffness or cracking, as prolonged inactivity may compromise their integrity. No major advisories were recorded, but the vehicle’s maintenance history does not confirm proactive servicing beyond MOT compliance.
