2016 Mercedes-Benz S-Class 3.0L Diesel · OW65 CXF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean MOT record following a minor setback. The most recent test conducted on 11 July 2025 at 80,842 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets all statutory safety requirements. While a failure was recorded in October 2024, the immediate re-test pass on the same day suggests the owner was proactive in rectifying identified faults without allowing them to persist. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a ten-year-old luxury saloon, averaging approximately 8,1000 miles per annum. Between the May 2022 test at 62,144 miles and the June 2023 test at 69,589 miles, the vehicle covered 7,445 miles. The more recent interval of 5,436 miles occurred between October 2024 and July 2025, showing steady but moderate usage. This low annual mileage typically reduces the wear on high-value drivetrain components and bushings compared to high-mileage examples of the same era. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the complex air suspension system common to S-Class models, as the MOT record shows no historical advisories for air leaks or sagging components. Given the clean history over the last two years, the structural integrity and braking system appear well-maintained. However, the October 2024 failure warrants a close look at the undercarriage and chassis for any evidence of surface corrosion or worn control arms to ensure the vehicle remains as sound as the digital record suggests.
