2009 Mercedes-Benz E 3.0L Diesel · KR09 BYC

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a pass on 27 May 2025 at 116,745 miles. The record shows a stable trend over the last three years, with the exception of a failed test on 24 May 2024. While the vehicle passed the subsequent test in August 2024, the failure in May 2024 indicates a temporary lapse in compliance that was rectified within three months. The absence of advisories in the most recent five tests suggests that the vehicle has met minimum roadworthiness standards consistently during this period. The recorded mileage of 116,745 miles over seventeen years averages approximately 6,867 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The testing frequency remains consistent, with annual inspections occurring between May and August each year. There are no significant gaps in the testing history that would suggest extended periods of inactivity or storage, and the mileage accumulation has been steady rather than erratic. Prospective buyers should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and subframes, as the age of the vehicle makes it susceptible to hidden corrosion that may not be captured during a standard MOT. Given the Mercedes-Benz E-Class platform, prioritize checking the condition of the air suspension components, if equipped, and the integrity of the rear subframe mountings. Inspect all brake lines for signs of surface oxidation and verify that the electronic parking brake system engages and releases without resistance, as these items are common wear points on this model that can occasionally bypass detection during a routine test.
