2009 Mercedes-Benz 320 3.2L Diesel · KR09 WXV

The 2009 Mercedes-Benz 320 shows a passed MOT from 31 May 2023 at 140,365 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy on paper at last test. The maintenance trend reads as stable, though the record carries two same-day fail-pass pairs that warrant scrutiny. The most recent test sits just over three years before today's date of 8 July 2026, so the vehicle is due a fresh test and may have covered little or no mileage since. Annual mileage averages roughly 8,257 across its 17 years, a typical figure for the age. The gap between the 4 January 2022 test at 122,520 miles and the 31 May 2023 test at 140,365 miles shows about 17,845 miles added in seventeen months, close to the long-run average. Records are sparse, with only two test years logged, and both years show a fail and pass on the same date with no defects listed, suggesting administrative or presentation issues rather than logged mechanical faults. The same-day fail-pass entries at 122,520 and 140,365 miles with no defects recorded point to either clerical error at the testing station or a pre-clean presented for retest. A buyer should still confirm the vehicle has not stood unused for three years with stale fluids, flat-spotted tyres, or seized brake components. Inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion for a 17-year-old Mercedes of this mileage. Given the clean defect list, no recurring advisories on tyres, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity appear in the data. Verify the V5C and ask the seller to explain the dual fail-pass logs before purchase, and book a current MOT and independent inspection without delay.
