1999 Mercedes E 2.4L Petrol · V360 DPB

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status based on the last four annual MOT tests. The most recent inspection conducted on 26 September 2024 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a similarly clean history through 2023, 2022, and 2021, indicating that the vehicle consistently meets minimum safety standards without mechanical failure. The recorded mileage of 51,466 miles over a 27-year span represents an average annual usage of approximately 1,906 miles. This pattern of low-intensity use suggests the vehicle has experienced limited wear on drivetrain components and braking systems. However, the intervals between tests remain consistent, with the records occurring annually between September and October, which reflects a regular pattern of testing rather than long periods of unrecordeded storage. While the MOT record shows no recorded failures, a buyer must perform a physical inspection focused on components affected by age-related decay rather than just mileage. Particular attention should be paid to rubber-based suspension components and structural integrity around the sills and wheel arches, which can degrade due to time regardless of distance driven. It is also necessary to inspect the brake lines for corrosion and the tyre condition for sidewalling or flat spots, as low mileage often masks underlying material fatigue. Buying score: 72 Risk level: Low.
