1993 Mercedes-Benz 320 3.2L Petrol · 11 RPD

The vehicle presents a currently roadworthy status following the February 2026 test at 140,434 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend appears stable across the recent record, with the only blemish being a failed test on 11 February 2026 at 140,365 miles that listed no defects, immediately superseded by a pass twelve days later. Such a clean advisory sheet across consecutive annual tests suggests the 320 has been kept to a reasonable standard for a 33-year-old Mercedes. Recorded mileage sits at 140,434 against a 1993 build, averaging roughly 4,256 miles per year. The March 2024 test at 134,983 miles and the March 2025 test at 137,997 miles show gentle annual use of around 3,000 miles. A modest rise to 140,365 by February 2026 indicates the car covered just over 2,400 miles in the latest interval. The low overall mileage implies long periods of standing are plausible, though the record itself carries no gaps longer than the standard twelve-month cycle. The history flags no recurring mechanical or structural faults. No advisories for corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions appear at any stage. The February 2026 failure with zero defects recorded points to an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a latent defect in the car. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-sensitive components the MOT does not deeply probe. Check suspension arms and coil springs for perishing rubber and fatigue, examine subframes and sills for structural rust given the vehicle's age, and confirm brake calipers are free from binding after prolonged low use. Verify the actual body and underside condition, as a clean MOT sheet on a 1993 chassis does not certify freedom from hidden deterioration.
