2001 Mercedes-Benz 320 3.2L Petrol · G8 KCJ

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded across six consecutive MOT tests from 2022 to 2026. The most recent 2026-03-11 test at 52,184 miles confirmed compliance, aligning with prior results from 2025-03-10 (52,023 miles) and 2024-03-15 (51,963 miles). No advisories or failures indicate consistent maintenance, suggesting the owner prioritized regular servicing. The absence of recurring issues across multiple tests implies the car has not developed escalating mechanical or structural concerns. The mileage of 52,184 miles over 25 years equates to an average of 2,087 miles annually, significantly below typical usage for this age. The MOT records show minimal mileage progression, with the 2022-03-02 test at 51,733 miles followed by a 164-mile increase by 2023-03-06. This suggests the vehicle may have been stored for extended periods, potentially affecting components like the battery, brake system, or suspension. The sparse data from 2022 to 2026, with no major repairs or repeated failures, indicates a lack of significant mechanical stress but warrants scrutiny of long-term storage effects. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can mask hidden wear. The brake system, including calipers and discs, should be checked for corrosion or binding, particularly if the car was parked for years. Structural integrity, especially around the chassis and body seams, requires visual assessment to confirm no rust or fatigue damage. While the MOT history shows no immediate risks, the low mileage and extended intervals between tests mean non-MOT components may require closer examination before purchase.
