2010 Mercedes-Benz E 3.0L Diesel · Y24 YDM

The vehicle is presently roadworthy, having passed the most recent MOT on 17 November 2025 at 100,063 miles. The brief failure recorded on 3 November 2025 did not list any defects, indicating an administrative or clerical issue rather than a mechanical shortfall. With consecutive passes surrounding that isolated failure, the maintenance trend appears stable. Mileage has accrued to 100,063 miles over sixteen years, averaging roughly 6,250 miles per annum – a figure typical for a car of this age. The log shows a steady increase: 86,408 miles on 7 August 2023, rising to 91,544 miles by 8 July 2024, then to 95,384 miles on 24 January 2025, and reaching 100,058 miles by 3 November 2025. No abrupt spikes or prolonged gaps are evident, suggesting consistent, moderate usage rather than periods of neglect or heavy loading. Given the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should still examine consumable wear and hidden condition. Inspect tyre tread depth and uniformity, as excessive wear can surface between tests. Verify brake discs and pads for glazing or uneven wear, and check that calipers move freely without binding. Examine suspension components – particularly bushings and coil springs – for any signs of corrosion or fatigue. A visual survey of the chassis for rust, especially around wheel arches and under‑carriage, will confirm structural integrity. Finally, confirm that exhaust emissions are within limits and that all lights and wipers operate correctly. A hands‑on inspection focused on these areas will corroborate the MOT record and reveal any latent issues that the tests, which recorded no defects, could not capture.
