2010 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · OV60 ADO

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 19 January 2026 at 108,259 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent five year trend of first time passes without a single recorded failure or advisory, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with the age of the car. Use has remained steady over the last few years, with 6,679 miles added between January 2024 and January 2025, and a slightly higher increase of 4,531 miles in the most recent year leading up to January 2026. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or long periods of inactivity that would suggest neglect or hidden degradation. While the MOT record is remarkably clean, the absence of advisories on a sixteen year old vehicle is unusual. A buyer should still manually inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing, as these rubber components degrade with age regardless of test outcomes. Checking for underside corrosion, particularly around the sills and suspension mounting points, is essential to ensure the structural integrity remains sound. The lack of flagged brake or tyre issues suggests the previous owner replaced consumables proactively before the annual tests. I recommend verifying the service history for evidence of automatic transmission fluid changes and engine oil intervals to complement the clean MOT data. Focus the physical inspection on the condition of the brake discs and the depth of the tyre treads to confirm the current state of wear.
