2010 Mercedes-Benz E 3.0L Diesel · FG10 ADO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its MOT history over the last several years. The most recent inspection conducted in February 2024 at 144,167 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car was maintained to a sufficiently high operational standard. This follows a period of clean passes since 2020, suggesting that the previous owners proactively addressed mechanical and safety requirements before they escalated into test failures. The mileage accumulation remains consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. Between November 2021 and February 2024, the car covered 11,929 miles, which represents a regular usage pattern. There is a notable gap in records between November 2020 and November 2021 tests, where the vehicle covered only 3,117 miles. Despite this, the lack of recurring advisories across these intervals suggests that the chassis and braking components have not suffered significant accelerated corrosion or degradation from periods of long-term stationary. While the digital record shows a clean trend, a physical inspection should focus on common wear points for a high-mileage Mercedes E-Class of this era. The tester did not flag any suspension issues, but a buyer should manually inspect control arm bushes and shock absorbers for signs of rubber cracking or weeping. Given the 144,000-mile mark, checking the condition of the brake discs and the thickness of the pads is essential, as these components often reach the end of their functional life at this interval.
