2010 Mercedes-Benz E250 Bluef-CY Sport CDI A 2.1L Diesel · SH60 TZR

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on October 19 2024 at 144,947 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history shows a pattern of immediate rectification following failures. The presence of failures in both October 2024 and January 2023 before subsequent passes indicates that the previous owner was reactive, addressing faults only to meet legal requirements rather than following a proactive preventative maintenance schedule. At 16 years old, the recorded 144,947 miles represent an average of approximately 9,000 miles per annum, which is typical usage for a premium diesel saloon. The data shows a significant increase in activity between June 2021 and February 2023, where the vehicle covered over 23,000 miles in under twenty months. This rate of use accelerated further with nearly 18,500 miles logged between the early 2023 and 2024 tests. Such consistent mileage puts predictable stress on heavy-duty components like the suspension bushings and drivetrain assemblies. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension system, specifically checking for perished rubber mounts and worn shock absorbers which are common failure points on this chassis at this mileage. While the record shows no current advisories, the recurring failures suggest the vehicle may have components nearing the end of their service life frequently replaced. Given the age of the Mercedes, pay close attention to structural corrosion on the subframe and exhaust mounting points to ensure the structural integrity has not been compromised despite the clean result of the latest test.
