MERCEDES-BENZ E2016 · 3.0L Diesel

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness record, with no defects recorded in its most recent 2025 MOT at 81,670 miles. All prior tests from 2021 to 2024 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The absence of advisories or failures across this five-year span suggests the car has been well-kept, with no signs of deterioration in critical systems like brakes, steering, or exhaust. Mileage progression aligns with average annual usage, accumulating approximately 8,167 miles per year since 2021. Gaps between tests vary, with the longest interval between 2023 (54,284 miles) and 2024 (68,937 miles), reflecting a 14,653-mile increase. This pattern does not indicate excessive wear, as all tests remained clean. The vehicle’s low defect rate over this period implies the previous owner prioritized regular servicing, though the lack of detailed advisories limits insight into minor wear trends. A buyer should physically inspect suspension components, such as bushes and coil springs, for age-related stiffness or wear, as these are not assessed in MOTs. The exhaust system and underbody should also be checked for corrosion, particularly in areas prone to road salt exposure. While the MOT history shows no immediate risks, the car’s age and mileage warrant a thorough check of brake discs and calipers for uneven wear, as well as the condition of rubber seals and hoses in the cooling and braking systems.
