2016 MERCEDES-BENZ E1.9L Diesel

The vehicle remains roadworthy according to the most recent MOT on 28 June 2025 at 126,115 miles, yet the appearance of tyre edge wear and thinning front brake pads indicates a modest deterioration in consumable condition. The trend is stable in the sense that no new safety‑critical defects have emerged, but the wear pattern is beginning to surface. Across a ten‑year span the car has accumulated 126,115 miles, averaging roughly 12,600 miles per annum. The mileage rose from 97,762 miles in June 2022 to 115,229 miles in June 2024, then to 126,115 miles a year later, showing a consistent increase of about 10‑12 k miles each year. This level of use is above average for a 2016 model, suggesting the drivetrain, suspension components and wear items have been subjected to considerable load. The MOT record flags off‑side front tyre tread close to the legal limit and front brake pads wearing thin in the 2025 test, while the 2024 test recorded rear tyre tread similarly near the limit. A prospective buyer should therefore verify the condition of all four tyres, confirming uniform tread depth and absence of sidewall damage. Inspect the brake system for pad thickness and disc condition, ensuring no scoring or excessive rust that could accelerate wear. Although no structural or suspension advisories appear in the history, a visual check of suspension bushes, coil springs and any signs of corrosion on chassis members remains prudent. Confirm that steering feels free of play and that the exhaust system shows no leaks. Addressing the identified tyre and brake wear before purchase will help maintain the vehicle’s current roadworthiness.
