2010 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · OV60 ABK

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT record at the most recent inspection. The October 2025 test at 71,398 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of successful testing throughout the previous years, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets basic regulatory requirements without recurring mechanical or structural failures. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2010 model, averaging approximately 4,462 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 63,847 miles in October 2022 to 71,398 miles in October 2025. While the low annual mileage indicates light usage, the relatively low frequency of movement can sometimes lead to issues such as perished rubber components or seized calipers due to lack of use. The record shows a single failure in October 2023 at 66,479 miles, though the specific cause was not documented, it was rectified immediately to achieve a pass on the same day. A physical inspection should focus on components that degrade during periods of inactivity. Given the low mileage, I recommend checking the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and various rubber seals for signs of cracking or perishing. You should also inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and verify that the calipers are not binding, as these are common issues on low-use vehicles. The absence of structural corrosion advisories in the recent history is a positive indicator for a vehicle of this age. However, you should still inspect the underbody and sills for any signs of surface rust or previous repairs. Checking the service history for oil changes and fluid refreshes is also advised to ensure that the engine and drivetrain have been adequately lubricated despite the low annual mileage.
