2010 Mercedes-Benz E 3.0L Diesel · D8 DEH

The 2010 Mercedes-Benz E presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 31 March 2026 at 92,097 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean MOT results stretching back to April 2022. No advisories or faults appear across the five most recent entries, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the test cycle. Annual mileage sits well below typical expectations for a sixteen-year-old executive saloon. The records show 69,590 miles in April 2022, rising to 74,669 by March 2023, 80,106 by March 2024, 86,744 by March 2025, and 92,097 by March 2026. That equates to roughly 5,600 miles added each year, or about 5,756 miles per annum across the vehicle's life. The clean history with no gaps suggests consistent light use rather than intermittent long-term storage followed by heavy correction. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs despite the absence of recorded advisories. Low annual mileage often masks perished rubber components and surface corrosion that a static test bay check may not flag. Examine subframe and sills for structural rust, and confirm the exhaust emissions remain within limits under load. Given the unbroken pass record, previous owners appear to have kept the car to a basic but sufficient standard for MOT compliance. The lack of any minor consumable warnings such as tyre tread or wiper blades across five years is unusual and warrants verifying actual component condition before purchase.
