2010 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · S1 GFF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass record over the last three years. The most recent test on 22 October 2025 at 75,700 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2022 and 2024, suggesting that the owner has maintained the vehicle to a standard that avoids immediate mechanical or safety failures during the testing process. The mileage pattern is notably low for a sixteen-year-old Mercedes, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. Between October 2022 and October 2024, the car covered 5,794 miles, showing very consistent and low-intensity usage. The brief failure on 12 October 2023 at 69,343 miles was rectified quickly, as the vehicle passed a re-test just eight days later with only 9 miles added. This low mileage generally reduces the wear and tear on the drivetrain and engine-related components typically associated with high-mileage vehicles. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on age-related degradation of rubber components and seals, which often affects low-mileage cars sat for extended periods. Inspect the suspension bushes, control arms, and shock boots for cracking or perish, as these degrade regardless of distance driven. Given the low usage, check the brake discs for surface corrosion and the calipers for seizing which can occur when a vehicle is not frequently driven. The structural integrity of the chassis should also be verified for hidden rust, though the record does not currently flag any structural corrosion issues.
