2016 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · 6 BCM

The vehicle presents an exemplary roadworthiness status characterized by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test conducted on 20 January 2026 at 33,279 miles returned no defects or advisories, maintaining a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. This suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard without any recurring mechanical degradation or structural corrosion typically seen in cars of this age. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,300 miles per annum. Between January 2022 at 17,019 miles and January 2026 at 33,279 miles, the car covered only 16,260 miles, indicating light road use. The intervals between tests are regular, showing the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods that would lead to unrecorded issues. While this low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the likelihood of rubber-based component perish and fluid degradation due to periods of inactivity. Because the MOT record shows no recorded faults, a buyer should focus on specific issues associated with low-mileage storage. Physical inspection should check for flat spots on tyres, perished brake hoses, and signs of surface rust on brake discs from infrequent use. Examine the suspension bushes and bushings for cracking or seizing, as these components age over time regardless of the distance driven. The lack of advisories suggests a structurally sound chassis, making the vehicle a rare example in its preserved condition.
