2009 Mercedes-Benz E 3.0L Diesel · W9 PRM

The vehicle maintains a high level of roadworthiness evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test on 08 September 2025 at 20,263 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This stable trend of perfect results over the last five years indicates that the vehicle has been kept in remarkably good condition and has not suffered from recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,192 miles per year. Between September 2021 and September 2025, the car covered only 400 miles, moving from 19,863 miles to 20,263 miles. This extremely low usage suggests the car has spent significant periods of its life stationary. While this limits wear on the drivetrain and engine internal components, it introduces specific risks related to age-related material and fluid degradation that an MOT cannot fully capture. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage storage rather than mechanical wear and tear. It is vital to check for perished rubber hoses, split seals, and perished bushes which often degrade over time regardless of mileage. The brake discs should be inspected for surface corrosion or pitting caused by lack of use to prevent seized calipers. Additionally, verify the age of the tyres for sidew cracking and ensure all fluids have been replaced recently to prevent contamination or oxidation due to long intervals between use.
