2010 Mercedes-Benz E 3.0L Diesel · HF60 BNO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on October 27, 2025 at 190,249 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, although the car initially failed the test on that same day due to a defective nearside headlamp on both dipped and main beams. This minor electrical fault was rectified immediately to secure the pass, suggesting the owner is willing to address safety-critical defects once flagged by the tester. At 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 190,249 miles is consistent with average UK usage, averaging approximately 11,900 miles per annum. The data shows a steady rate of accumulation, with roughly 13,500 miles covered between October 2023 and October 2024, and another 13,700 miles in the following year. This consistent usage indicates the vehicle has not been left stationary for long periods, which generally benefits the health of the engine seals and mechanical components. A buyer must pay close attention to the front suspension geometry. The MOT records from 2023 and 2024 repeatedly flag tyres wearing prematurely on the inner edges. This recurring wear pattern is a classic indicator of incorrect alignment, worn ball joints, or failing suspension bushes. If left untreated, this uneven wear will continue to lead to rapid tyre degradation and can compromise the handling of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Given the high mileage and age, a physical inspection of the structural integrity and underbody de-corrosion is essential. While the recent history does not highlight structural failures or brake issues, the age of the vehicle increases the likelihood of perished rubber components and rust on the control arms. The buyer should verify there are no leaks from the drivetrain and check the condition of the brake discs, as the record focuses primarily on tyres and lighting rather than deep mechanical health.
