2013 Mercedes-Benz S-Class 3.0L Diesel · GG13 AMG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent test on 23 April 2025 at 111,845 miles resulted in a clean pass, following a failure just one day prior. This recurring pattern of an immediate failure followed by a pass suggests a minor, non-structural defect that was quickly rectified before the re-test. The absence of recorded advisories across the 2023 to 2025 period indicates that the vehicle is currently meeting minimum regulatory standards. The recorded mileage of 111,845 miles over 13 years reflects an annual average of approximately 8,600 miles. This usage rate aligns well with typical expectations for a premium luxury saloon of this age. The data shows steady progression, with roughly 5,200 miles covered between February 2023 and April 2024, and another 6,600 miles between April 2024 and April 2025. This consistent interval suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of stationary storage, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals. While the MOT history is clean of mechanical defects, a buyer must conduct a physical inspection of high-wear components common to the S-Class. Focus should be placed on the air suspension system for leaks or sagging bags, as these are frequent points of failure regardless of MOT results. Given the mileage, the buyer should also check for corrosion on the subframe and the condition of the control arm bushes. The previous near-miss failures warrant a close look at lighting bulbs or minor sensors that might have triggered the initial rejections.
