2007 Mercedes-Benz E 3.0L Diesel · LS07 OYA

The vehicle maintains a stable level of roadworthiness, evidenced by five consecutive clean MOT passes over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 29 August 2025 at 232,289 miles showed no defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical and structural components currently meet minimum standards. This consistency suggests a proactive approach to maintenance where the owner addressed potential issues before they resulted in a formal test failure. The mileage profile reflects high usage, averaging approximately 12,226 miles per year over its 19-year life. A significant period of activity occurred between August 2023 and August 2024, where the vehicle covered 30,848 miles in a single year. Conversely, the interval between August 2021 and 2022 saw much lower usage with only 4,631 miles recorded. The current total mileage exceeding 232,000 places substantial strain on the drivetrain and suspension assembly, which is typical for a heavy-duty Mercedes-Benz chassis. Despite the lack of recorded advisories, a physical inspection must focus on components prone to high-mileage wear on this model. The buyer should scrutinise the suspension bushes and control arms for signs of perished rubber, as these often degrade under high mileage conditions. Given the age and distance travelled, checking the brake discs for thinning and inspecting the exhaust system for corrosion or leaks is essential. The structural integrity of the subframe and mounting points should also be verified to ensure no hidden corrosion has developed despite the clean MOT history.
