2010 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · GF60 FRR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test, conducted on 20 July 2022 at 146,642 miles, recorded no defects or advisories. This streak of perfect results over five years suggests that the previous owners maintained the vehicle to a standard that avoided the common mechanical failures often seen in older German executive cars. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent with typical annual usage for this age, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per annum. Between June 2017 and July 2022, the car covered 62,458 miles, showing a steady operational pattern. There is a notable gap in the record after July 2022, and with the current date being June 2026, the vehicle's MOT is nearly four years out of date. This lapse represents a significant risk, as the mechanical state of the vehicle has not been officially verified since it sat at 146,642 miles. Given the lack of recorded mechanical advisories, a physical inspection should focus on components prone to age-related degradation rather than recurring faults. A buyer must check the condition of rubber suspension components, specifically control arm bushes and bushings, which often perish on Mercedes of this era despite low mileage. The chassis should be inspected for structural corrosion on the sills and subframe points, as the record does not account for the onset of rust. Because the last test was performed so long ago, the brake fluid condition and hydraulic lines also require checking for signs of moisture ingress or decay.
