2002 Mercedes V 2.2L Diesel · GW52 AFW

The vehicle presents a strong roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a consistently stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted in March 2026 at 89,347 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This sequence of clean pass results over the last five years indicates that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids immediate mechanical or safety-related failures during the testing process. The' pattern is exceptionally low for a vehicle of twenty-four years' age, averaging approximately 3,700 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between 2023 and 2025, where the car covered only 2,492 miles in two years, followed by a more recent increase in activity toward the final test. While this low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, long periods of standing can often lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid issues that MOT tests may not fully capture. Despite the clean digital history, a buyer must conduct a physical inspection focused on areas common to low-mileage, older Mercedes. Particular attention should be paid to structural rust on the sills, floor pans, and wheel arches, which can develop quickly if the car sits stationary. Additionally, the suspension bushes and brake lines should be checked for age-related cracking or perished, as the age of the materials does not prevent decay regardless of the low mileage.
