1967 Mercedes-Benz 250 2.5L Petrol · 5 NC

The 1967 Mercedes-Benz 250 presents a stable and exemplary maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 20 March 2026 at 24,089 miles. The tester recorded zero defects, continuing an unbroken five-year streak of flawless MOT outcomes. This consistent absence of advisories or failures demonstrates meticulous upkeep and a proactive approach to vehicle care by the current keeper. The mechanical condition remains entirely stable, with no emerging issues or recurring faults to suggest deterioration. At 59 years old, the recorded mileage of 24,089 equates to a mere 408 miles per year, indicating exceptionally light use. The annual MOT records confirm this minimal accumulation. Between the February 2022 test at 21,584 miles and the March 2023 test at 21,998 miles, the car covered just 414 miles. The following year saw slightly higher usage, traveling 898 miles to reach 22,692 miles by March 2024, before dropping back to 499 miles over the subsequent twelve months. Such low annual mileage suggests the vehicle has likely spent extended periods stationary, a factor that demands careful physical inspection despite the pristine paperwork. Despite the flawless MOT record, the extremely low mileage and prolonged stationary periods inherent to this vehicle's history warrant a thorough physical inspection. A buyer must examine the structural integrity of the chassis and floor pans for corrosion, as moisture accumulation during long stand times often attacks the metalwork unseen by a brief road test. Suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls require close scrutiny for perishing and flat-spotting, even if tread depth remains legal. Brake calipers may exhibit binding or seized pistons due to lack of regular use, and the fuel system could suffer from degraded seals or stale fuel deposits. The clean MOT history proves the car meets minimum safety standards today, but the true condition of a low-mileage classic relies entirely on verifying that age-related degradation has not compromised its mechanical fitness.
