1993 Mercedes-Benz 300 3.0L Petrol · 27 RV

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 30 June 2025 at 118,851 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a minor failure just three days prior. That failure involving the offside dipped beam, rear fog lamp, and the fog lamp tell-tale were simple electrical or bulb issues, suggesting the owner is proactive in rectifying compliance faults rather than allowing them to accumulate. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 33-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,600 miles per year. The record shows a significant gap between November 2021 and June 2024, where the car covered only 551 miles in nearly three years. Since the June 2024 test, the vehicle has covered just 313 miles, indicating it is used very sparingly. While this low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, long periods of standing often lead to degradation of rubber-based components, perished seals, and potentially seized brake calipers. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension mounting points, as low-mileage older Mercedes often suffer from surface rust that accelerates in hidden cavities. Given the intermittent use, inspect the tyres for cracking in the sidewalls and check the brake fluid for moisture contamination or the discs for surface pitting. The lack of mechanical advisories over the last five years suggests the vehicle has likely been kept in a dry environment, but a thorough check of the suspension bushings and rubber hoses is necessary to ensure the age has not caused the material to fail.
