2010 Mercedes-Benz 220 2.1L Diesel · LS60 KUV

The most recent MOT on 24 July 2024 returned a pass with no defects recorded. A failure seven days earlier on 17 July 2024, also showing no recorded defects, suggests a rectified issue that did not generate a formal advisory. The sequence indicates a currently valid certificate but the unexplained fail warrants clarification. The vehicle has covered 173,171 miles over sixteen years, averaging roughly 10,800 miles annually, which is typical for the age. Test intervals are broadly annual, though two tests occurred in 2022 (2 February and 27 July), the earlier possibly a voluntary or early presentation. No mileage figures are attached to individual tests, so wear progression cannot be tracked precisely. With no advisories or defect codes logged across five tests, the history offers no specific pointers for targeted inspection. At this mileage, a buyer should still examine the suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers for binding, and the underbody for structural corrosion, as these items often degrade without triggering an MOT advisory until failure is imminent. The record is essentially clean aside from the single unexplained failure, so the maintenance trend appears stable. However, the absence of recorded faults does not equate to a guarantee of condition; a thorough pre-purchase inspection remains essential.
