1991 MERCEDES 190 E2.0L DIESEL

The 2026-06-18 verdict is that the vehicle is roadworthy, but the MOT trend is clearly deteriorating, with the most recent inspection in September 2024 failing on critical structural and consumable components, indicating a lack of proactive upkeep. The mileage trajectory is marked by significant gaps between test dates, with the first test at 121,167 miles in September 2024 and a subsequent test in August 2023 at 120,791 miles. These intervals suggest that the vehicle has experienced substantial wear accumulation since the last official assessment, with no evidence of rapid mileage growth or a steady accumulation of wear that would justify a new MOT. A buyer should inspect the rear suspension, brakes, and the structural integrity of the wheels and tyres in person. The MOT records reveal specific issues such as corrosion to ferrules on brake hoses, a corroded coil spring, and a worn thin rear brake pad, all of which point to a lack of regular maintenance and potential for imminent failure or safety hazards.
