2016 MERCEDES-BENZ E1.9L Diesel

The MOT record shows a consistently clean history, with every annual test from August 2022 through to the most recent pass in March 2026 returning no defects and no advisories. At 106,705 miles, the latest test indicates a mechanically sound vehicle with no outstanding structural, suspension, or braking concerns recorded by the tester. The maintenance trend is stable, showing no signs of deterioration or recurring problems across the four-year period covered. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for the vehicle's age. Between the August 2022 test at 76,911 miles and the August 2024 test at 93,562 miles, the car covered roughly 16,651 miles in two years, averaging under 8,400 miles annually. The following year to June 2025 added 5,092 miles, and the final nine months to the March 2026 test added 8,051 miles. No unusually large gaps or sudden spikes appear in the history; the pattern points to regular daily use rather than prolonged standing or heavy commercial-style mileage. A clean MOT is a positive indicator, but it does not guarantee the condition of items outside the statutory test scope. At 106,000 miles, the suspension bushes, coil springs, and dampers are likely approaching wear limits even if they have not yet produced play detectable at test time. Brake discs and pads may be nearing replacement intervals, and a binding caliper can emerge without warning. A pre-purchase inspection should also check the condition of the underside for any developing corrosion, and confirm that the tyres carry adequate tread depth and even wear across both axles. The absence of advisories suggests the previous owner addressed issues promptly, but a private specialist inspection remains a sensible step before committing to the purchase.
