2010 Mercedes-Benz E 3.0L Diesel · CE60 MDX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last several years. The most recent test conducted in September 2024 at 90,081 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. This follows a period of clean records from 2021 through 2023, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components have maintained without recurring failure. The mileage pattern is notably low for a sixteen-year-old Mercedes, averaging approximately 5,630 miles per year. Between August 2021 and September 2022, the vehicle covered only 5,876 miles, reflecting very infrequent annual use. While this low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine internal components, it often leads to the degradation of rubber-based parts and fluid-related issues. The failure in September 2022 at 86,881 miles, followed immediately by a pass the following day, suggests a minor mechanical issue that was rectified promptly by the owner. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on components affected by age and stagnation rather than mileage. Examine the suspension system for perished rubber bushes, cracked shock absorbers, and leaking seals, which commonly fail on low-use older vehicles. Check the brake discs for pitting or seized calipers caused by long standing periods, and inspect the chassis for structural corrosion. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check for rust on the sills and subframe is essential to ensure the structural integrity remains sound despite the clean MOT history.
