2010 Mercedes-Benz E 1.8L Petrol · FP10 OCS

The vehicle presents as roadworthy following a pass on 17 April 2025 at 86,172 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every annual test from May 2022 through to April 2025 resulting in a pass or a same-day administrative fail with no faults listed. No advisories or mechanical concerns appear in the official record. The recorded mileage is low for a 2010 model, standing at 86,172 miles or roughly 5,386 miles per year. The car gained only 1,980 miles between the May 2023 test at 81,692 miles and the May 2024 test at 84,224 miles, then just 1,948 miles to the April 2025 test. Such limited annual use over sixteen years suggests extended standing periods, though the clean test history gives no evidence of neglect in the recorded intervals. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, as low-mileage cars left idle often develop perished rubbers or seized components not captured by a pass with no defects. The April 2025 fail with zero defects recorded indicates a documentation or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault, but confirm the V5C and test certificate align. Given the absence of corrosion, exhaust, or structural advisories across five consecutive tests, previous ownership appears to have maintained basic statutory compliance. Verify underbody condition and tyre sidewall age in person, since date-based degradation is not reflected in MOT outcomes.
