2022 Mercedes-Benz V 300 AMG Line D Auto 1.9L Diesel · LC72 PXM

The most recent MOT test conducted on 24 August 2026 resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a similarly clean pass in September 2025, establishing a highly stable and positive maintenance trend. The absence of any recorded failures or even minor advisories suggests that the vehicle has been consistently maintained to a high standard and that its structural integrity, lighting, and braking systems have met all regulatory requirements during recent inspections. With 47,356 miles recorded over approximately four years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 11,839 miles per annum. This usage profile is entirely typical for a modern diesel executive vehicle and indicates a balanced driving pattern. This level of mileage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to excessive wear from high-frequency heavy usage, nor has it suffered from the potential issues associated with very low mileage, such as carbon buildup in the diesel particulate filter or excessive moisture accumulation in the engine oil. As the MOT history is devoid of defects, the inspection should shift towards age-related wear and preventative maintenance checks. You should carefully examine the tyres for any signs of perishing or sidewall cracking, which can occur as the rubber ages even if the tread depth remains high. Inspect the brake discs for any signs of heavy corrosion or uneven wear and listen for any binding calipers or squealing during low-speed manoeuvres. It is also prudent to check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for any signs of fatigue or leaks from the dampers, as these components can begin to show wear around this mileage. Finally, ensure that the service history is comprehensive and matches the mileage, as the MOT only confirms roadworthiness at a single point in time and does not account for routine mechanical servicing. Verify that oil and filter changes have been performed according to the manufacturer's schedule to protect the turbocharger and engine longevity. During the test drive, pay close attention to the smoothness of the automatic transmission and listen for any unusual noises from the exhaust or drivetrain. Checking the 12V battery health and the condition of all fluid levels, such as coolant and brake fluid, will provide further assurance that the vehicle is prepared for continued reliable use.
