Our Verdict
This is a strong candidate for a buyer s
Given the low mileage of this 2.9L diesel S-Class, your primary focus should be on verifying that the service intervals have been strictly adhered to, as low-mileage luxury vehicles can sometimes suffer from deferred maintenance. Check the service book for evidence of oil changes and fluid checks, particularly for the complex diesel engine and transmission systems.
When negotiating, use the 2025 MOT advisory regarding worn rear brake discs and pads as a point of discussion, although the 2026 MOT indicates these may have since been addressed. Ensure the recent tyre replacement (following the 2024 failure) is documented, as the previous failure involved significant damage to both rear tyres.
As a 2925cc diesel, this S-Class is designed for efficient long-distance cruising, though its size and weight will influence fuel economy in stop-start traffic. You should expect moderate to high fuel costs depending on annual mileage, but the Euro 6 status ensures compliance with most UK Clean Air Zones (CAZ).
Insurance groups for S-Class models are typically high due to the vehicle's value and repair costs. Maintenance costs on this model can be substantial; while the MOTs haven't shown suspension issues yet, the model aggregate data suggests suspension arms are a common failure point. Expect an annual running cost budget that accounts for premium diesel, high insurance premiums, and a contingency for specialist Mercedes-Benz servicing.
Start by inspecting the tyres; the 2024 MOT failure was due to deep cuts in both rear tyres reaching the cords, so ensure the current set has ample tread and no sidewall damage. Check the braking system thoroughly, as the 2025 MOT recorded thin rear pads and worn discs.
While this specific vehicle has no recorded suspension defects, the model aggregate data identifies suspension arms as a top failure reason for this class of vehicle. I recommend a thorough test drive to listen for any knocks or uneven tyre wear that could indicate premature wear of the suspension components. Finally, verify the Euro 6 compliance documentation to ensure no unexpected charges in low-emission zones.
This 2019 Mercedes-Benz S-Class (LS69LFD) has covered 31,330 miles since its first registration in September 2019, which is significantly lower than the model average of 7,216 miles per year. The MOT history shows a relatively clean track record, with the most recent test in September 2026 passing with no defects. While there were tyre and brake-related issues in previous years, the vehicle appears to have been kept within standard operational parameters.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 86.4% average MOT pass rate, with suspension arms and tyres being the most frequent reasons for failure.
