2010 Mercedes-Benz E 3.0L Diesel · SL10 UND

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a clean record as of the most recent inspection. The latest MOT test conducted on 6 March 2023 at 38,090 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical and structural components met the required standards at that time. This follows a period of consistent passes, suggesting the vehicle has not suffered from significant mechanical failures despite its age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,381 miles per year. Between September 2018 at 35,385 miles and March 2023 at 38,090 miles, the car covered only 2,705 miles over four years. While this low usage reduces wear on drivetrain and engine components, it increases the risk of agerelated degradation in rubber-based parts. The gaps between tests show the car likely sits for long periods rather than being driven regularly. A physical inspection should focus on the condition of the tyres, as the history shows recurring issues. The 2022 test at 37,417 miles flagged perishing and damage on the front inner edges, while the 2019 test at 36,244 miles noted worn rear tyres near the legal limit. These faults are typical of low-mileage vehicles where rot occurs before wear. The buyer must check for sidewall cracking and flat spots to ensure the tyres are not structurally compromised despite having sufficient tread depth.
