2016 Mercedes-Benz S-Class 3.0L Diesel · C3 GAW

The vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT history, with the most recent test on 5 November 2025 at 39,258 miles resulting in a pass with no recorded defects. This flawless record has remained consistent over the last five years, indicating a stable and well-maintained condition. The absence of even minor advisories suggests that the previous owner prioritised preventative maintenance and addressed potential issues before they reached the point of formal tester notification. The recorded mileage of 39,258 miles over a ten-year period averages approximately 3,926 miles per annum, which is significantly lower than the typical usage for a luxury saloon of this class. The steady, incremental accumulation of miles between October 2021 and November 2025 confirms the car has seen regular, light use rather than prolonged periods of inactivity. This pattern is favourable, as it avoids the risks associated with vehicles left standing for years, such as seized mechanical components or perished rubber seals. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the air suspension system and electronic control modules, as these are common failure points on high-specification Mercedes-Benz models that may not always manifest during a standard MOT test. While the history shows no structural or braking system concerns, check the brake discs for signs of surface corrosion or pitting, which can occur on vehicles with low annual mileage. Verify that all complex cabin electronics and driver assistance features operate as intended, as the MOT only assesses basic roadworthiness and does not test the functionality of the vehicle's extensive onboard technology.
