2016 Mercedes-Benz S-Class 5.5L Petrol · VO63 AMG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT test in April 2026 at 46,366 miles which returned with no defects. The maintenance trend appears consistent, moving from a period of addressing reactive consumable wear in earlier years to a clean record over the last two years. This suggests that the current owner is proactive in addressing mechanical requirements before they escalate into test failures. The mileage pattern is notably low for a ten-year-old S-Class, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per year. Usage has remained steady over time, with the vehicle covering only 2,200 miles between March 2024 and April 2026. While this low mileage generally reduces wear and tear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components or brake caliper seizing. The data shows no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation or high-intensity usage patterns that would stress the suspension geometry. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and tyres, as these have shown a history of wear. The tester flagged thin front brake pads in 2020 and 2021, followed by a failure in April 2021 for both front and rear pads. Although these were rectified, the 2025 advisory noted both the nearside and offside front outer tyres worn near the legal limit, which may indicate an alignment issue or uneven wear patterns. Given the low annual mileage, it is also vital to check for corrosion on the underside and brake discs, which often occurs on vehicles that sit for extended periods.
