MERCEDES-BENZ E2016 · 1.9L DIESEL

The vehicle presents in a roadworthy state, having achieved a clean MOT pass in May 2026 at 56,851 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is currently improving following a period of minor neglect identified in 2023. The absence of advisories or failures in the two most recent tests suggests that the current owner has addressed previous concerns and is presently maintaining the vehicle to a high standard. At ten years old, the recorded mileage of 56,851 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 5,700 miles per year. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with a 10,728-mile interval between July 2024 and May 2026. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components due to age, which is evident in the vehicle's history regarding its tyres and seals. A physical inspection should focus on the condition of the tyres and rubber components, as the 2022 and 2023 tests flagged recurring issues with perishing and cracking on offside tyres. The 2023 test also noted thin rear brake pads and uneven tyre wear, indicating that despite the low mileage, the vehicle may suffer from alignment issues or deferred maintenance. Given the age of the car, a buyer should also inspect the suspension bushes for cracking and check the brake discs for corrosion to ensure the low usage has not resulted in excessive surface oxidation or seized calipers.
