2010 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · GF60 AFA

This Mercedes-Benz E-class has demonstrated a stable and clean roadworthiness record over its recent MOT history, with the most up-to-date test in May 2024 at 150,905 miles showing no defects at all. The absence of advisories or failures across the last five tests—spanning from August 2019 to May 2024—suggests that either the vehicle has been well-maintained by its previous owners or that it has been driven lightly enough to avoid accumulating significant wear. The consistency of passing without any recorded issues is uncommon for a 16-year-old vehicle, particularly one with this level of mileage, which typically would show some signs of age-related degradation in brakes, suspension, or emissions systems. The mileage accumulation has been steady and predictable, averaging around 9,432 miles per year, which aligns closely with the typical usage pattern for a vehicle of this age. There are no sudden spikes or prolonged gaps between tests that might indicate neglect or irregular service intervals. The most recent 2,898 miles (from December 2021 to May 2024) were covered in just over two and a half years, a pace that is neither aggressive nor unusually slow. This suggests the car has been in consistent, if not particularly heavy, use—likely by a private owner rather than a fleet or high-mileage driver. Given the complete absence of recorded defects in the MOT history, a buyer should still approach this vehicle with caution regarding components that are not routinely checked during MOTs. Particular attention should be paid to the suspension—specifically the condition of coil springs, anti-roll bars, and bushings—since these are not always flagged unless visibly damaged or leaking. The brake system, including calipers, pads, and discs, should be inspected for uneven wear or corrosion, even though the MOTs show no issues. The exhaust system, while not mentioned in these records, may require closer examination for rust or leaks, especially given the vehicle’s age. Finally, the structural integrity of the chassis and sills should be checked for hidden corrosion, as this is a common concern in older Mercedes-Benz models and one that MOT testers only assess superficially.
