2026 Mercedes-Benz V 300 AMG LN Marcopolo Prm+d A 2.1L Diesel · X11 MAK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having achieved a clean MOT pass in September 2025 at 29,262 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory following a significant mechanical failure in late 2024. Since that failure, the vehicle has passed without recorded defects or advisories, suggesting that the previous owner addressed the critical braking and tyre issues and maintained the vehicle to a standard thereafter. The mileage profile is consistently low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,180 miles per annum. There is a notable usage spike between September 2023 at 16,601 miles and October 2024 at 25,438 miles, where the vehicle covered nearly 9,000 miles. While the low annual mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, the intervals between tests can lead to degradation of rubber components and brake hardware if the vehicle sits stationary for too long periods. The failure in September 2024 at 25,430 miles highlights a period of neglect regarding front axle maintenance. The tester flagged significantly worn front brake discs and excessive brake fluctuation on both sides, which typically indicates warped rotors or glazed pads. The presence of a nearside front tyre reaching the ply cords and a worn offside tyre further confirms that basic consumable checks were overlooked. A buyer should personally inspect the front brake assembly for any residual judder and verify that the components replaced after the failure were of a high quality. Given the low mileage, a physical inspection should also focus on signs of flat-spotting on tyres or corrosion on brake calipers common in vehicles used infrequently. Check the suspension bushes for cracking and inspect the chassis for structural rust, as low mileage often masks age-related oxidation. The recent clean records suggest the vehicle is currently in a good state, but the 2024 failure serves as a reminder that the braking system is prone to rapid wear if maintenance is deferred.
