Our Verdict
Caution is advised when considering this
When evaluating this Mercedes‑Benz E, obtain a full service history if available and verify any recent work on the brake system, especially the off‑side front and rear brake pipes noted as corroded in the 2025 MOT. Ask the seller for receipts or records of pipe replacement or corrosion treatment, as untreated corrosion can lead to brake fade. Additionally, confirm that the rear child seat has been removed and that the adult seat belt can be fully inspected and operated, as the 2023 MOT flagged obstruction that could affect safety.
Negotiate the price to reflect the two MOT failures and the vehicle’s above‑average mileage. Potential buyers should budget for possible brake pipe refurbishment and any related suspension checks, given that suspension arm failures are a common issue for this model group. A pre‑purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic, focusing on the brake lines, differential, and interior seat fittings, will help uncover any hidden wear.
Consider the long‑term ownership costs of a 16‑year‑old luxury sedan. Parts and labour for Mercedes‑Benz can be higher than mainstream brands, so factor in the likelihood of future maintenance on the drivetrain and electronic systems. If the price can be reduced to accommodate these anticipated expenses, the vehicle may still represent decent value for a well‑equipped executive car.
The 1.8‑litre petrol engine in this 2010 E typically achieves around 30‑35 mpg combined, leading to an annual fuel cost of roughly £1,200‑£1,400 based on average UK mileage. Road tax for a petrol vehicle of this age and engine size falls into the £150‑£180 band per year.
Insurance groups for a 2010 Mercedes‑Benz E are usually in the 30‑35 range, translating to an annual premium of about £800‑£1,000 for a driver with a clean record. Routine maintenance, including brake pipe inspection/replacement, oil changes, and occasional suspension work, can add another £300‑£500 per year. Overall, the estimated annual running cost sits between £2,450 and £2,800.
These figures are indicative; actual costs will vary with driving style, mileage, and regional insurance pricing. Prospective owners should also consider potential out‑of‑warranty repairs that can arise with higher‑mileage luxury sedans.
Pay particular attention to the brake system, especially the off‑side front and rear brake pipes that were recorded as corroded in the 2025 MOT. Look for signs of rust, leaks, or uneven brake pad wear, and verify that the pipes have been replaced or treated. The differential area should also be inspected for any corrosion or fluid leakage, as the MOT note mentioned material covering the pipe above the differential.
Inspect the rear seat area for any remnants of the child seat that caused the 2023 MOT advisory. Ensure the adult seat belt can be fully extended, latched, and retracted without obstruction. Check the condition of the seat upholstery and mounting points, as improper fitting can lead to wear over time.
Given the model’s known propensity for suspension arm failures (top MOT failure reason for the model group), have the suspension components examined for play, cracks, or worn bushings. While this vehicle has not recorded a suspension failure, the age and mileage make it a prudent area to assess during a pre‑purchase inspection.
The 2010 Mercedes‑Benz E (registration TM07NUT) shows a mixed MOT record: five tests since 2022 with two failures – brake pipe corrosion in 2025 and a rear child‑seat obstruction in 2023. Mileage is around 160,000 miles, which is slightly above the model's average annual mileage of 9,127 miles (about 146,000 miles for a 16‑year‑old car). While the latest 2026 MOT passed without defects, the previous failures point to potential corrosion and interior fitting concerns. Overall, the car offers a premium badge but carries moderate risk that should be reflected in price negotiation.
Across 256,038 analysed Mercedes‑Benz E models, the average MOT pass rate is 83.8%, with suspension arm and engine faults being the most common failures. This vehicle's record is close to the average, but the specific brake pipe corrosion is not a typical model‑wide issue.
