2016 Mercedes-Benz E 3.5L Petrol · SAX 3G

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a slight shift toward mechanical wear. The most recent test on July 22, 2025 at 90,104 miles identified a fluctuating offside front service brake disc. While this did not cause a failure, it indicates the beginning of disc thickness issues or a sticking caliper, which was not present during the clean test recorded in June 2024. The mileage pattern is consistent with a well-used modern executive vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per annum. There is a notable gap of 17,833 miles between the July 2022 and July 2023 tests, followed by a more consistent increase of roughly 14,000 miles in the subsequent year. The lack of defects in the records from 2021, 2022, and 2024 suggests the core drivetrain and structural components have not been subjected to extreme high-mileage stress. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the front braking system specifically to determine if the fluctuation noted in 2025 requires immediate disc and pad replacement. The 2023 advisory regarding worn tyres on both the nearside and offside rear suggests potential alignment issues or uneven suspension wear patterns that should be verified against the current set of tyres. Given the age and mileage of the Mercedes, a physical inspection of suspension bushes and control arms is advisable to ensure no rubber degradation has occurred between annual tests.
