2010 Mercedes-Benz E 3.0L Diesel · AL02 OOK

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 4 December 2025 at 101,469 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car remains in sound mechanical condition. This stability suggests a proactive approach to maintenance by the owner, as no recurring mechanical failures or structural weaknesses have appeared in the testing data. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-to-mid-use vehicle, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per annum. A notable period of inactivity occurred between November 2021 and November 2022 when the mileage only increased by 116 miles, suggesting the car sat stationary for a significant duration. However, usage has increased steadily since 2022, covering over 11,000 miles between the 2022 and 2023 tests. This recent increase in mileage is generally beneficial for an older Mercedes, as it helps keep seals lubricated and prevents the degradation often associated with long-term standing. While the MOT record shows a lack of advisories or past failures, a physical inspection should focus on common age-related wear points for a vehicle of this era. The buyer should examine the condition of the suspension bushes and control arm joints, which can perish over time despite low mileage. Given the previous period of inactivity, checking the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensuring the calipers are not seized or binding is essential to ensure the braking system remains responsive.
