Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 1995 model year cars.
- Severe RustSerious
The W210 generation is notorious for catastrophic corrosion due to Mercedes-Benz adopting water-based eco paints alongside inadequate factory anti-corrosion primer in the mid-1990s. Front spring perches, wheel arches, sill jacking points, door bottoms under rubber weatherstrips, and boot lock apertures suffer severe structural perforation.
- Front Suspension Upper Spring Perch DetachmentSerious
A lethal structural safety flaw on the W210 chassis is rust developing between the inner wheel arch panel and the spot-welded front upper coil spring perch cup. Severe hidden corrosion causes the welds to tear away completely, resulting in sudden suspension collapse and tyre rubbing.
- Front Lower Ball Joint and Drop Link WearModerate
The heavy front-end mass of the W210 rapidly degrades the lower suspension ball joints, anti-roll bar bushes, and drop links. Excess play in the ball joints is one of the single most common MOT failure points recorded on UK E-Classes and can cause severe steering vagueness.
