2021 Mercedes-Benz S-Class 3.0L Hybrid electric · RX71 CYY

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness status based on the most recent MOT test on February 26 2026. At 106,942 miles, it passed with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend leading up to the current date. The absence of any recorded points suggests that the primary mechanical and safety components monitored by the DVSA were functioning within acceptable operating parameters at the time of the inspection. The mileage profile is significantly high for a five-year-old luxury saloon, averaging approximately 21,388 miles per annum. This high rate of accumulation suggests consistent long-distance driving, likely motorway use, which typically results in less stop-related wear compared to low-mileage city driving. While the February 2026 test shows no immediate failures, the sheer volume of miles indicates that drivetrain components and suspension assemblies are nearing the end of their standard service cycles sooner than a typical private vehicle of this age. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the vehicle's air suspension system and bushings. High-mileage S-Class models frequently suffer from perished air bags or worn control arm bushings that are not always flagged during a stationary MOT test. You should also inspect the brake discs and calipers for signs of uneven wear or thinning, as the mileage puts substantial stress on the braking system. Checking the fluid levels and looking for underbody corrosion is also essential to ensure the high usage has not led to neglected structural integrity or fluid leaks.
