2010 Mercedes-Benz E 3.0L Diesel · SC60 TTO

The 2010 Mercedes-Benz E presents a stable roadworthiness status with no recorded defects across its five most recent MOT tests. The September 2025 test at 108,145 miles passed cleanly with no advisories, continuing an unbroken pass sequence since 2021. The maintenance trend shows no worsening or recurring faults and implies consistent basic upkeep by previous owners. Annual mileage averages near 6,759 miles, typical for a 16-year-old vehicle. The records show steady accumulation: 50,906 miles in September 2021, 65,139 in September 2022, 79,700 in September 2023, 94,232 in August 2024, and 108,145 in September 2025. No abrupt jumps or dormant periods appear. The clean sheet across all entries suggests the keeper addressed wear before each test rather than letting consumables or structural items reach advisory thresholds. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and 108,145 miles. The MOT history flags no corrosion or binding calipers, but 15-year-old Mercedes rubber and mounting components degrade silently outside test criteria. Examine underside structural integrity for rust at subframe and sill seams. Verify service records confirm transmission and coolant intervals were met. The DVSA data proves roadworthiness at test dates but reveals nothing on drivetrain internals or intermittent faults. Treat the clean MOT as evidence of passed standards, not a substitute for physical appraisal.
