2019 Mercedes-Benz S-Class 2.9L Diesel · F8 RER

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test on 13 November 2025 at 24,411 miles resulted in no defects or advisories recorded. This stable trend remains unbroken across the last four years, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a good condition without the mechanical degradation or structural corrosion typically seen in older luxury cars. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,487 miles per year. Between the March 2022 test at 11,589 miles and the November 2025 test at 24,411 miles, the car covered only 12,822 miles over nearly four years. The interlier test in March 2023 at 16,099 miles indicates a pattern of short-distance use. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it also introduces specific risks related to parts that suffer from long periods of inactivity. While the MOT record shows no faults, a buyer must inspect for specific issues associated with low-mileage storage. Long standing can cause rubber components to perish, meaning the suspension bushes and engine seals may dry out. The brake system should be checked for flat spots on the tyres or seized calipers, as infrequent use often fails to clear surface rust effectively. Additionally, the tyres should be inspected for sidewall cracking despite high tread depth, as the age of the rubber often outlasts the mileage driven.
