2009 Mercedes-Benz E350 Blue-CY Agarde CDI A 3.0L Diesel · YLZ 8177

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-04-09 at 207,620 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Previous tests in 2025-02-17 (190,777 miles) and 2023-01-17 (164,256 miles) also passed, though a failed test on 2025-02-02 at 190,447 miles—just 15 days earlier—remains unexplained, as no defects were logged. This inconsistency suggests potential data inaccuracies or unresolved issues, though the absence of recorded faults in later tests implies corrective action was taken. The mileage progression reveals irregularities. From 164,256 miles in 2023 to 285,429 in 2024, the vehicle gained 121,173 miles within 12 months, far exceeding the average annual 12,213 miles. This rapid accumulation raises concerns about wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, which typically degrade under high usage. The 2025-02-17 test at 190,777 miles shows a more moderate 26,521-mile increase from 2023, but the 2024 entry’s anomaly warrants verification through service records or a vehicle history check. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems for signs of excessive wear, given the high mileage and inconsistent odometer readings. Structural corrosion, particularly in the exhaust system or underbody, should also be assessed, as prolonged use can accelerate rust. While no defects were recorded in recent tests, the irregular mileage history and unexplained failed test highlight the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity.
