2007 Mercedes E 3.0L Diesel · WU07 OKX

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 26 January 2026 at 104,501 miles with no recorded defects. This clean pass indicates an improving maintenance trend, as the previous test in January 2025 flagged minor play in the track rod ends and an oil leak. The absence of advisories in the most recent inspection suggests that these earlier mechanical concerns were addressed, placing the vehicle in a stable roadworthy condition as of the start of this year. With an average annual usage of approximately 5,500 miles over its nineteen-year lifespan, the vehicle has seen relatively light duty. The mileage accumulation remains consistent, with roughly 4,800 miles added between January 2025 and January 2026, and a similar increase recorded in the preceding twelve-month period. This steady, low-mileage profile typically reduces the strain on the drivetrain, though prospective buyers should remain mindful that extended periods of low usage can sometimes lead to seized components or perished rubber seals. Recurring issues with suspension components and tyre wear patterns dominate the history of this Mercedes. The 2022 and 2023 tests specifically noted corrosion on the offside rear coil spring and uneven inner-edge wear on the front tyres. While the most recent test shows no current faults, you should inspect the rear suspension mounting points and coil springs for signs of structural corrosion or recent replacement. Furthermore, check the front tyre treads for any lingering evidence of poor wheel alignment, as consistent inner-edge wear often points to unresolved geometry issues that can accelerate tyre degradation despite a clean MOT pass.
