2006 Mercedes-Benz E 6.2L Petrol · V1 RSL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by three consecutive MOT passes following a previous failure. The most recent test in February 2026 at 133,355 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets all safety and emissions standards. This follows two years of clean records in 2024 and 2025, suggesting that the current owner is addressing any emerging issues to maintain the vehicle to test. The mileage pattern remains consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. Between February 2024 and February 2025, the car covered 12,574 miles, which represents a significant spike in usage compared to the 3,543 miles recorded in the preceding year. Despite this period of higher activity, the total distance of 133,355 miles is relatively low for a twenty-year-old Mercedes, which typically suffers from age-related degradation of rubber components rather than high-mileage wear. While the recent records are clean, a physical inspection must focus on the structural integrity of the 20-year-old chassis. The failure recorded in February 2023 at 109,070 miles indicates a specific mechanical or emissions fault that required rectification, so the buyer should check for persistent corrosion on the sills, subframe mounts, and brake lines. Given the age of the E-Class, the suspension bushes and control arms should be examined for cracking or tearing, as these often perish over time regardless of the annual mileage.
