2010 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · KS59 VRK

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 16 October 2025 with 81,614 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend is remarkably stable, as evidenced by a clean test sheet across the last four annual inspections. Although a failure was noted on the same day as the latest pass, the immediate success of the re-test suggests a minor issue was rectified quickly without indicating a deeper underlying mechanical failure. The mileage profile is notably low for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,100 miles per year. Data shows a consistent and slow accumulation, moving from 73,480 miles in November 2023 to 81,614 miles by the most recent test. This 패턴 suggests the car has seen limited use, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, though such low mileage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and seals due to age and periods of inactivity rather than mechanical friction. A physical inspection should focus on the condition of components susceptible to age rather than just mileage. Given the vehicle's age, a buyer must inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and dampers for cracking or perished rubber, as these become brittle over time. The brake discs and calipers should be checked for corrosion or pitting, which is common on low-mileage Mercedes models. The structural integrity of the chassis and exhaust system should be verified for rust, although the MOT history has not yet flagged any significant structural concerns to date.
