2010 Mercedes-Benz E 3.5L Diesel · FV10 AEB

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of passes over the last four years. The most recent test on 2 December 2025 at 115,032 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. A failure occurred four days prior on 28 November 2025 at 115,025 miles, though the record lists no specific defects for that failure, suggesting a minor administrative or quick-fix issue that was resolved immediately. The mileage pattern is consistent with the age of the car. It has covered approximately 11,000 miles between the December 2022 test at 104,217 miles and the December 2025 test at 115,032 miles. This indicates steady, moderate usage rather than prolonged periods of standing or excessive wear. The lack of recorded advisories across multiple years suggests a disciplined approach to preventative maintenance. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should still physically inspect the chassis and suspension components. Vehicles of this era often develop corrosion on the sills and subframes that may not always trigger an immediate MOT failure unless structural integrity is compromised. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common wear points for a Mercedes E-Class at this mileage. Verify the service history for evidence of automatic gearbox fluid changes and engine oil intervals. Since the MOT record shows no failures for brake discs or binding calipers, the braking system appears healthy on paper. However, a manual check of the tyre depths and the age of the rubber is advised to ensure the current owner has not neglected basic consumables.
