2008 Mercedes S-Class 5.5L Petrol · KP58 EEJ

The vehicle's recent MOT history shows an improving trend in terms of pass results, with the most recent test on 18 December 2024 resulting in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a failed test on 29 November 2023, though the specific nature of that failure was not documented in the provided record. The subsequent pass on 12 December 2023 indicates that whatever issues caused the previous failure were addressed. The recorded mileage of 118,916 miles suggests an average annual usage of approximately 6,606 miles over the vehicle's 18-year lifespan. This represents relatively low annual mileage for a vehicle of this age. The MOT records provided cover a period from May 2022 to December 2024, showing consistent annual testing without significant gaps in the inspection timeline. Because the MOT history lacks specific details regarding the 2023 failure and contains no advisories for tyre tread, brake pad thickness, or corrosion, a physical inspection is necessary to assess consumable wear. A buyer should focus on checking the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as well as inspecting the chassis for structural rust. Given the low annual mileage, it is also prudent to check for signs of fluid leaks or perished rubber components that can occur when a vehicle sits idle for extended periods. buying_score: 68 risk_level: Low.
