2010 Mercedes-Benz E 3.0L Diesel · DS60 ACO

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean pass on April 12, 2025 at 114,562 miles. This recent result shows no defects, indicating that the owner has successfully addressed previous mechanical or compliance issues. While the history shows instances of failure in earlier years, the current trend toward clean certificates suggests the vehicle is being maintained to a standard that meets minimum UK road safety requirements. The mileage pattern is consistent with low-to-moderate usage for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,160 miles per year. There is a notable gap between the October 2021 and November 2022 tests, during which the car covered only 4,109 miles. This suggests periods of limited use or extended storage, which can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluids despite low mileage. However, the 3,314 miles covered between November 2022 and April 2025 show the car is still being driven regularly enough to keep systems and seals lubricated. The failures recorded in October 2021 and November 2022 indicate that the vehicle required specific intervention to meet testing standards. Since the specific reasons for those failures were not detailed in the summary, a buyer must conduct a physical inspection of common Mercedes failure points for this era. Focus on the structural integrity of the subframes and chassis for corrosion, as well as the condition of the suspension bushes and control arms. Checking the brake pad thickness and disc condition is also essential to ensure the issues that caused previous failures are not recurring due to accelerated wear or binding calipers.
