2007 Mercedes E 3.0L Diesel · LT07 FEJ

The vehicle currently lacks a valid MOT certificate, with the last recorded test occurring on 16 February 2022 at 219,724 miles. This creates a significant gap of over four years, during which the vehicle’s mechanical status remains unverified by the DVSA. The maintenance trend leading up to the final test showed a slight decline in condition, as the vehicle progressed from a period of clean passes between 2018 and 2020 to recurring advisory items involving tyre degradation and suspension wear. Accumulating 219,724 miles over a nineteen-year lifespan results in an average of approximately 11,564 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this class. The mileage progression appears consistent and linear through the recorded history, suggesting the vehicle was in regular service rather than suffering from prolonged periods of inactivity. However, the absence of any testing data since early 2022 means the current mechanical state is entirely unknown, and the car has effectively been off the road for a substantial duration. Potential buyers must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking systems, as these areas showed signs of neglect in the final two tests. The recurring reports of perishing tyre sidewalls indicate that the vehicle may have been stored in conditions that accelerated rubber degradation, and a new set of tyres will likely be required before the vehicle can be safely operated. You should pay close attention to the condition of the brake pipes and suspension bushes, as the corrosion noted in 2021 and the wear flagged in 2022 could have worsened significantly while the vehicle sat idle. A comprehensive check for structural corrosion on the chassis and subframes is essential, given the age of this Mercedes and the extended period without professional oversight.
