2016 MERCEDES-BENZ E3.5L Petrol

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 10 November 2025 at 54,680 miles with no defects recorded, indicating current roadworthiness. Prior to that, the November 2024 test also passed cleanly at 52,521 miles. The only notable issues in the history are tyre wear advisories in November 2023 and a single failure in August 2019 for a supplementary restraint system warning lamp. Since those events, all subsequent tests have passed without defects, showing a stable to improving maintenance trend. Recorded mileage shows a low annual usage of roughly 5,500 miles per year, with the odometer moving from 26,241 miles in August 2019 to 54,680 miles by November 2025. The history includes two tests in September and November 2021, only two months apart, which may reflect a change of ownership or a voluntary retest. Apart from that close pair, the intervals between tests are regular annual intervals, and there are no sudden jumps in mileage that would suggest intensive use. A prospective buyer should pay particular attention to the rear tyre condition, as the 2023 test flagged both nearside and offside rear tyres worn close to the legal limit and on the edge; verifying tread depth and even wear is essential. The earlier SRS fault suggests checking that the airbag warning lamp illuminates correctly at start‑up and extinguishes after a few seconds, and that no stored fault codes remain. In addition, a visual inspection of the rear suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and pads for signs of wear or corrosion is advisable, given the age of the vehicle and the low‑mileage pattern that can allow components to deteriorate through standing.
