2007 Mercedes-Benz E 3.0L Diesel · SW07 LFU

The 2007 Mercedes-Benz E presents a stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 27 November 2023 at 119,647 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and this clean result follows four consecutive annual passes with no advisories. The maintenance trend shows no worsening or recurring faults across the available five-year record. Annual mileage sits at a modest average of roughly 6,300 miles per year for a 19-year-old vehicle. The records show steady accumulation: 101,795 miles in October 2019, rising to 105,990 by November 2020, 109,937 in November 2021, 114,907 in November 2022, and 119,647 in November 2023. The gaps between tests never exceed thirteen months and increments stay near 4,700 to 4,950 miles, so no rapid wear spikes or dormant periods appear. The DVSA data itself is sparse on faults, with every entry listing a clear pass and no minor consumable or structural items flagged. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean sheet. Nineteen years of age invites corrosion on subframes, suspension arms, and brake lines that an MOT without advisories may not have photographed in detail. The tester recorded no worn bushes, coil spring fractures, or binding calipers, yet these components on a high-mileage Mercedes of this era degrade silently between tests. Verify the actual condition of brake discs, tyre sidewalls, and underbody structural integrity before purchase. The absent advisories suggest previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but the 2023 test is now over two years old relative to today's date, so fresh mechanical verification remains essential.
