2007 Mercedes E 3.0L Diesel · CA07 ULH

The 2007 Mercedes E presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 5 September 2025 at 183,763 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failure on 7 September 2023 at 172,117 miles, which the record shows with no defects listed, followed four days later by a pass at 172,164 miles. This suggests an administrative or presentational rejection rather than a mechanical fault, and the subsequent pass confirms the vehicle was not carrying unresolved defects into service. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 19 year old car, averaging roughly 9,672 miles per year against the 183,763 miles recorded. The gaps between tests are consistent at around 12 months. From 13 September 2022 at 166,888 miles to 11 September 2023 at 172,164 miles the car covered 5,276 miles. It then added 6,023 miles to the September 2024 test at 178,187 miles, and 5,576 miles to the 2025 test. No rapid accumulation or extended dormancy shows in the data, and the clean sheets across five years indicate the previous keeper kept basic statutory testing current without lapse. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and mileage, as MOT passes with no advisories do not measure wear tolerance or incipient corrosion. The 2023 failure with no defects recorded warrants a check of the DVSA refusal reason, since some entries reflect lighting or documentation issues rather than structural condition. At 183,763 miles the drivetrain and exhaust emissions system should be assessed for fatigue not captured by a pass result. The absence of recurring advisories on tyres, wipers, or braking components implies consumables were renewed before each test rather than run to the limit. That pattern points to an owner who managed statutory compliance closely. No structural integrity concerns or worsening mechanical trends appear in the official record for this Mercedes.
