Our Verdict
This 2019 Mercedes-Benz V-Class is a compelling prospect given its exceptionally low mileage. While the dual MOT result in December 2024 requires clarification, the vehicle has successfully cleared its testing requirements.
When viewing this vehicle, prioritise investigating the December 2024 MOT records. Since the failure and pass occurred on the same day with no recorded defects, it is possible this was a clerical error or a minor issue rectified immediately at the testing station. Ensure you request the full MOT certificate history to confirm the nature of the initial failure.
Beyond the MOT record, inspect the interior condition, as the V-Class is often used as a high-capacity family or executive vehicle. Check the electrical systems, including the sliding doors and infotainment, as these can be costly to repair if they have been subjected to heavy use.
As a 1991cc petrol vehicle, this V-Class sits in a higher tax bracket compared to smaller hatchbacks. Fuel economy will be heavily dependent on load and urban versus motorway driving, with the petrol engine typically returning lower MPG figures than the diesel variants common in this segment.
Maintenance for a Mercedes-Benz of this size should be budgeted for accordingly, particularly regarding tyres and brakes, which wear faster on heavier vehicles. Expect an estimated annual running cost of £2,200-£2,600, accounting for fuel, insurance, and routine servicing.
Focus your inspection on the suspension and braking components. Even with low mileage, rubber bushings and seals can deteriorate over time. Check the tyres for uneven wear, which can indicate alignment issues, and ensure the alloy wheels are free from curbing damage.
Given the 2019 registration, check for any signs of premature corrosion on the undercarriage. Test all electronic features, including the climate control and seat adjustments, to ensure they operate smoothly without hesitation or unusual noises.
Registered in January 2019, this black petrol-powered V-Class has covered just 15,481 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average. The most recent MOT history shows a pass following a failure on the same day, both recorded at the same mileage. Overall, the vehicle presents a unique opportunity for buyers seeking a low-mileage premium MPV.
The V-Class maintains an average MOT pass rate of 78.3% across our analysed sample, suggesting it performs in line with other luxury MPVs.
