2020 Mercedes-Benz E 4.0L Petrol · 20 DD

The vehicle currently maintains a good roadworthiness status, passing its most recent MOT on 23 March 2026 at 23,503 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears improving as the mechanical and consumable issues identified in the previous year have been addressed. The transition from multiple advisories in the prior test to a clean sheet indicates that the owner responded promptly to the tester's findings. The mileage profile is low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,900 miles per annum. The data shows consistent, low-usage patterns, moving from 11,200 miles in March 2023 to 23,503 miles by March 2026. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to flat-spotting of tyres or the degradation of rubber components if the car sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the braking system and tyre condition. The March 2025 test at 18,481 miles flagged both thin front brake pads and two rear tyres worn to the legal limit. While these were rectified in the 2026 test, a physical check of the remaining pad thickness and disc condition is advisable to ensure no uneven wear or glazing exists. Given the low mileage, checking the tyre sidewalls for signs of cracking or dry rot is essential, as age often affects rubber more than distance on low-use vehicles.
