2016 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · YE65 ACO

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 9 December 2022 at 60,211 miles resulted in no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical requirements before they could result in a test failure across the last five testing cycles. The mileage pattern is consistent with low-use continental driving, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per annum. Between January 2019 at 17,967 miles and December 2022 at 60,211 miles, the vehicle covered 42,244 miles at a steady rate. This low accumulation suggests the car has not been subjected to high-stress motorway environments or heavy-duty urban use. The low mileage for a ten-year-old Mercedes significantly reduces the likely wear on the drivetrain and complex suspension components compared to high-mileage examples. Because the MOT record shows no recurring faults or structural advisories, a buyer should focus on components affected by long periods of standing rather than mechanical wear. Inspect the rubber components, such as suspension bushes and ball arms, for perished or cracked surfaces due to the low annual mileage. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as infrequent use can sometimes lead to oxidation on the rotors. Given that the last recorded test was over three years ago, a current MOT is now mandatory to ensure no new defects have developed since the 2022 entry.
