1995 Mercedes-Benz E 3.2L Petrol · 9 PSB

The 1995 Mercedes-Benz E presents a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 1 May 2025 at 106,566 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Prior examinations in September 2023 at 106,219 miles and July 2021 at 105,698 miles also passed cleanly. The maintenance record shows no escalating faults and no outstanding advisories across the available history. The odometer reflects exceptionally low use for a 31-year-old vehicle, totalling 106,566 miles or roughly 3,438 miles per year. Between the July 2021 test and the September 2023 test the car covered only 521 miles, and just 347 miles separated the 2023 and 2025 examinations. A notable anomaly appears on 23 August 2022, where the same mileage of 106,189 produced both a fail and a pass on the same day with no defects logged, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Such sparse, clean records suggest the car has stood for long periods. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion, particularly to sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points, given the age and intermittent use. Long standing invites perished rubber components such as suspension bushes, degraded brake hoses, and seized calipers that a static MOT may not expose under light road testing. Verify the condition of brake discs for face corrosion and check the coil springs for fracture from inactivity. The absence of advisories across five years does not negate the risk of age-related deterioration on a low-mileage classic left unused for months at a time.
