2010 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · LS10 MYP

The vehicle presents a stable and highly positive maintenance profile. The most recent test on 2 February 2026 at 71,510 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of passing consecutive annual inspections without issue since 2024. The lack of recent advisories suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained and that mechanical components are currently in a good state of repair. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 2010 model, averaging approximately 4,469 miles per year. The records show very gradual accumulation, such as the 1,236-mile increase between the April 2024 test and the February 2025 test. While low mileage often implies lighter mechanical strain on the drivetrain and suspension, the long intervals between uses can sometimes lead to perished rubber components or seized brake calipers. However, the clean MOT results through 2025 and 2026 indicate that any such issues have been addressed or have not yet manifested. Historical data shows only minor consumable failures rather than significant mechanical or structural concerns. The 2023 failure for an ineffective windscreen wiper and the 2019 failure regarding a nearside front tyre bulge represent typical maintenance oversights rather than systemic neglect. An advisory in 2015 regarding rear tyre wear was resolved by the subsequent test. No issues regarding structural integrity, corrosion, or braking systems have appeared in the recorded history. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that are prone to age-related degradation despite low mileage. I recommend checking the condition of all rubber bushes, suspension mounts, and drive belts to ensure they have not perished from inactivity. It is also prudent to inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensure the tyres show no signs of sidewall cracking or flat-spotting. Given the clean recent history, the vehicle appears to be a well-kept example.
