2005 Mercedes-Benz E 2.7L Diesel · CX05 JXD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2026-03-26 confirming no defects at 119,374 miles. The maintenance trend shows stability, as all tests since 2023 have passed without recorded issues. A single failed test in 2025-04-02 at 114,366 miles was resolved within two days, with no defects noted on the subsequent pass. No recurring mechanical or structural faults appear in the history, suggesting consistent upkeep. The mileage of 119,374 miles over 21 years equates to an average of 5,684 miles annually, significantly below typical usage for this age. This low accumulation could indicate infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which may affect components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and fluid systems. Gaps between tests are minimal, with the longest interval being 11 months between 2024-05-10 (106,247 miles) and 2025-04-04 (114,396 miles), suggesting regular monitoring but no urgent concerns. A buyer should inspect for signs of corrosion, particularly in body panels and undercarriage, given the low mileage and potential for stagnant fluids. Check suspension components for wear, as prolonged inactivity may cause stiffness or degradation. Verify the condition of the exhaust system, as rust can develop in less-used vehicles. No brake or steering issues were flagged, but a physical inspection is recommended to confirm the absence of hidden faults not captured in MOT records.
