MERCEDES E1995 · 2.0L PETROL

The most recent MOT was passed on October 29th, 2008, with no defects recorded at that time. The MOT history shows a pattern of issues appearing over time, with specific components noted failing or showing wear in earlier inspections. For example, there were issues with suspension components and brake pipes noted in 2007 and 2005. The condition trend is not clearly worsening or improving based solely on these records, as the most recent inspection was clean, but previous inspections highlighted specific areas of concern regarding suspension and corrosion. The mileage of 127,189 miles for a vehicle of this age suggests a relatively low annual mileage, which could indicate lighter use or extended periods of standing, although this does not rule out wear on specific components. A buyer should first thoroughly inspect the rear suspension components, particularly the offside rear coil spring and the nearside rear shock absorber, as these were flagged in the 2008 failure. Secondly, check for any signs of fluid leaks around the nearside rear shock absorber, as this was a specific defect noted previously. Finally, inspect the tyres, as they were noted as being close to the legal limit of wear in 2006.
