1989 MERCEDES-BENZ 190 E2.0L Petrol

The 1989 Mercedes‑Benz 190 E is presently roadworthy, having passed the May 2023 MOT at 40,944 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend with no evidence of recent deterioration. The mileage averages roughly 1,100 miles per year, reflecting light use or long periods of inactivity; the single MOT entry provides a clean snapshot with no earlier records to show any rapid mileage accumulation. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, verify that the rear brake calipers are not binding and that the brake discs show no scoring or excessive corrosion, inspect the chassis for structural rust, and confirm that the exhaust system meets emission standards; these components are the most likely to exhibit age‑related deterioration despite the recent clean test.
