2010 Mercedes-Benz E 3.0L Diesel · KA52 TEE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT on 3 June 2026 at 84,239 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory as the recurring mechanical advisories from the previous three years appear to have been addressed. While the history reveals a pattern of wear on consumable components, the clean sheet from the most recent inspection suggests the current owner has responded to the faults previously identified by the tester. At 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 84,239 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 5,265 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns with intervals of roughly 5,000 to 6,000 miles between annual tests from 2022 through 2026. This low-mile profile often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components due to age rather than friction, which is consistent with the reports of perishing tyres and worn arm bushes found in the record. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The records from 2023 and 2024 specifically flagged light misting on the nearside front shock absorbers and worn or perishing tyres, which should be checked for renewed leaks or sidewall cracking. Additionally, the history of corroded offside front brake pipes in 2023 and recurring pitting on brake discs across 2022 to 2025 necessitates a close look at the hydraulic lines and rotor surfaces to ensure they are free from further structural corrosion.
