2007 Mercedes-Benz S-Class 3.0L Diesel · RF57 JUU

The 2007 Mercedes-Benz S-Class presents a stable roadworthiness status with no recorded defects across its four most recent MOT tests. The May 2025 test at 155,681 miles passed cleanly, continuing an unbroken pass trend since at least 2022. The maintenance record shows no worsening faults, advisories, or repeated failures, indicating the vehicle has been presented for test in a condition that met DVSA standards each time. Annual mileage sits at roughly 8,194 miles, typical for a 19-year-old vehicle. The records show a notable plateau in use: between the March 2022 test at 147,725 miles and the March 2023 test at 155,441 miles the car covered 7,716 miles, but from March 2023 to March 2024 it added only 103 miles (155,441 to 155,544), and just 137 miles more by May 2025 (155,544 to 155,681). Such minimal movement over two years suggests extended periods of storage or very limited local running rather than active daily use. Given the clean test history, no specific recurring mechanical faults appear in the official record for suspension bushes, brake calipers, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody structural integrity and subframe condition, as a low-use S-Class of this age is prone to dormant corrosion and perished rubber components that a pass with no defects does not rule out. The near-static odometer also warrants a check of fluid condition, brake disc surface pitting from standing, and tyre sidewall cracking caused by age rather than wear. The previous owner clearly kept the car to a standard that satisfied MOT requirements, but the sparse mileage means consumables may be original and time-expired even where legally compliant.
