2010 Mercedes-Benz E 3.0L Diesel · AF10 GFY

The vehicle presents a current roadworthiness status of passed, with the most recent test dated 22 April 2022 at 196,730 miles showing no defects recorded. The maintenance trend cannot be firmly classified as stable, worsening, or improving due to the sparse record, but the latest outcome is clean. This 2010 Mercedes-Benz E is sixteen years old with high recorded mileage for its age. The odometer stood at 196,680 miles on 14 March 2022 when the car failed the MOT with no defects listed, then rose only 50 miles to 196,730 by the pass on 22 April 2022. Annual mileage averages near 12,300, which is elevated for the model year and implies sustained use of consumables, suspension, brakes, and drivetrain. The record shows a narrow window of activity and no further entries for over four years relative to today's date of 8 July 2026, leaving the intervening condition unverified. The March 2022 failure with no defects recorded is anomalous and suggests an administrative or identification issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. The April 2022 pass with no advisories indicates the tester found no worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, or failing brake components at that time. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of coil springs, brake discs, exhaust emissions, and underbody corrosion given the high mileage and the long lapse since the last test. Standing for four years risks perished rubber, seized calipers, and flat-spotted tyres despite the clean 2022 sheet. The previous owner ran the car hard then appears to have parked it, so verify fluid condition and structural integrity before any purchase.
