2007 Mercedes S320 CDI Auto 3.0L Diesel · WP56 DVM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 12 November 2021 at 226,303 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This indicates that the previous owner maintained the vehicle to a high standard up to that point, as no mechanical or structural failures were identified by the tester during that inspection. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a 19-year-old luxury saloon, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per annum. Between October 2018 and October 2019, the car covered 16,199 miles, showing a period of higher usage. The subsequent interval of 29,442 miles between the 2019 and 2021 tests represents a sustained rate of roughly 14,700 miles per year. Given that it has been over four half years since the last recorded test entry, the current roadworthiness of the vehicle is unknown and the MOT is likely expired or overdue relative to today's date. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on high-mileage components common to the S-Class chassis of this era. While the record is clean, the 226,000-mile mark puts significant stress on the air suspension system, control arm bushes, and dampers. Inspect for signs of corrosion on the subframe and structural mounting points, as these often degrade over nearly two decades. The buyer should also check for brake caliper leaks and uneven wear on the discs, as these are frequent points of failure on heavy diesel luxury vehicles.
