2016 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · KR16 ABN

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a clean pass record across the last five MOT tests. The most recent inspection conducted on 20 May 2025 at 124,884 miles returned no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical issues before they resulted in test failures. The absence of recurring advisories over several years suggests that the vehicle has benefited from consistent care despite its high-use profile. The mileage pattern reflects consistent, high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 12,500 miles per annum. Between May 2022 and May 2025, the vehicle covered 64,031 miles, showing a steady accumulation rather than periods of neglect. The gap between the December 2022 and May 2023 tests shows a jump of 17,632 miles in just five months. This high annual mileage typically suggests long-distance motorway driving, which is generally less taxing on the suspension and brake components compared to frequent stop-start city driving. While the MOT history is flawless, a buyer must still focus on components most susceptible to high-mileage wear. At over 124,000 miles, a physical inspection should prioritize the suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs for signs of perished rubber or fatigue. The brake discs and pads should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, as the MOT only tests for efficiency rather than thickness. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, verifying the structural integrity of the chassis for corrosion is also essential to ensure that hidden rust has not compromised the long-term viability of the Mercedes.
