2009 Mercedes-Benz E 3.0L Diesel · LM09 UAG

The December 2022 MOT at 126,777 miles confirmed the E‑class as roadworthy, with no defects recorded, signalling a stable maintenance trend. The preceding December 2021 test at 109,511 miles also showed no defects, reinforcing consistency. At 17 years old, the vehicle has accumulated roughly 7,457 miles annually, a rate typical for its class. The 17,266‑mile increase between the 2021 and 2022 tests reflects steady usage rather than abrupt mileage spikes, and no extended periods of inactivity are evident from the record. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, verify that the rear brakes are not binding, inspect the condition of the brake discs and pads, and look for structural rust around the wheel arches and chassis. Tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition, and the integrity of the exhaust system merit particular attention given the high mileage, while a thorough underbody inspection can reveal any concealed corrosion that might affect structural integrity.
