2008 Mercedes-Benz E 3.0L Diesel · BN58 AEA

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT history, indicating a stable and well-maintained mechanical condition. The most recent test on 24 July 2025 at 141,977 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to July 2022, suggesting the car has been kept in a roadworthy state without the recurring faults often seen in vehicles of this vintage. The mileage accumulation is consistent and typical for an 18-year-old executive saloon. Between 28 July 2022 and 24 July 2025, the odometer rose from 131,376 to 141,977 miles, averaging roughly 3,500 miles per year over the last three years. This steady usage suggests the car has not suffered from prolonged periods of standing, which often leads to seized calipers or perished rubber seals. The absence of advisories over the last four years is unusual for a car with 141,977 miles. While the record is clean, a buyer should still manually inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue, as these components often wear without triggering an immediate MOT failure. Checking for underside corrosion and inspecting the brake discs for lip wear is advisable given the age of the chassis. The failure recorded on 17 July 2023 was resolved the following day, though the record lists no specific defects for that failure. This likely indicates a minor administrative error or a quick-fix consumable replacement. Given the lack of flagged issues regarding exhaust emissions or structural integrity, the vehicle appears mechanically sound based on the available data.
