MERCEDES-BENZ E2016 · 1.9L Diesel

This vehicle demonstrates an exceptionally stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent MOT on 8 September 2025 at 51,872 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean bill of health follows a consistent pattern of five consecutive years of passes without a single recorded failure or advisory note. The mileage is notably low for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,187 miles per year. The distance covered between tests has remained relatively steady, though there was a slight increase in usage between September 2023 at 36,254 miles and September 2024 at 43,865 miles. The low annual mileage suggests the car has not been subjected to heavy motorway wear or high-stress urban cycles. A lack of MOT advisories over five years is rare and suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance. However, low mileage vehicles often suffer from specific issues that MOT tests may not immediately flag. A buyer should check for perishing rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which can degrade due to age rather than use. The absence of mentioned corrosion or brake wear in the records is positive, but the vehicle may have spent periods standing. It is advisable to check for brake disc corrosion or binding calipers and ensure the battery health is optimal. Given the clean history, a physical inspection should focus on fluid condition and any signs of stagnation rather than mechanical failure.
