2016 Mercedes-Benz E 3.0L Diesel · D22 UCH

The 2016 Mercedes-Benz E presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 28 October 2025 at 112,375 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken four-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a ten-year-old executive saloon. The records show 102,839 miles at the 3 November 2022 test, rising to 105,811 by 23 October 2023, 109,012 by 25 October 2024, and 112,375 by 28 October 2025. That equates to roughly 3,200 miles per year across the logged period, well below the 11,238 annual average implied by the lifetime figure. The sparse but clean history gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs, though the low recent use may mask age-related degradation not caught in a static test. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc condition given the vehicle's age and the long idle intervals between tests. Standing time accelerates perished rubber and surface corrosion on structural members even when the MOT shows clear. The absence of advisories across all four entries suggests previous owners addressed wear before each test, yet no historical faults exist to guide targeted checks beyond standard ten-year wear points. Given the last test sits roughly eight months behind today's date, the buyer should confirm the current odometer reading and re-verify tyre tread depth and exhaust emissions at point of sale. The clean record supports a fair confidence level, but low-mileage storage patterns warrant a physical check of underbody integrity before completion.
