MERCEDES-BENZ E2020 · 1.9L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in April 2026 with no defects recorded. However, the maintenance trend regarding tyres is concerning, evidenced by a failure just three days prior to that pass due to an offside rear tyre tread depth falling below the legal limit. While the immediate issue was rectified, the history of advisories suggests a reactive rather than proactive approach to maintaining safety-critical rubber components. At 46,924 miles over six years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 7,800 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical usage patterns for a premium executive saloon. The data shows a significant gap in mileage accumulation between August 2023 and July 2024, where the car covered nearly 9,000 miles in a short period, followed by roughly 10,000 miles in the following year. This relatively low annual mileage does not account for the apparent degradation of tyre quality noted in the later inspections. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of all four tyres, as the history shows recurring advisories for cracking, perishing, and uneven edge wear across multiple axles between 2024 and 2025. These patterns often indicate potential alignment issues or suspension-related wear that were not fully addressed during the testing periods. Additionally, the condition of the brakes and suspension bushes should be verified to ensure the noted tyre wear has not resulted in secondary mechanical fatigue to the undercarriage components.
