2010 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · OV60 ACY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available DVSA data. The most recent inspection conducted on 18 March 2023 at 147,103 miles resulted with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates that the car was maintained to a high standard at the time of the test, showing no immediate mechanical or structural failures that would preclude road use. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a luxury saloon of this age, averaging approximately 9,200 miles per annum. Between the 10 March 2022 test at 139,735 miles and the March 2023 test at 147,103 miles, the car covered 7,368 miles. This lower annual accumulation suggests regular, moderate use rather than the detrimental effects associated with long periods of standing or the accelerated wear and tear found in high-mileage motorway commuting. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should focus the physical inspection on common wear points for a Mercedes-Benz E-Class of this era. Given the age, check the condition of the suspension bushes and control arm ball joints as these components often degrade without triggering an MOT failure. The lack of recorded advisories in the previous tests does not eliminate the risk of corrosion, so an inspection of the subframe and structural mounts remains necessary. Since the last recorded test occurred over three years ago relative to the current date, the vehicle's current status is unverified. A fresh inspection is required to identify any fluid leaks, perished rubber components, or tyre wear that have developed since the 2023 record. Pay particular attention to the brake discs and calipers to ensure no significant surface corrosion has occurred during the gap in official testing.
